We just take one game at a time,” the Norwegian head coach told reporters after the game. “City are too far ahead for us to think we can catch them. Last year we caught 15 points up on Leicester, but City are a different proposition.

“When you come away with a 2-0 win and another clean sheet and a performance like this then you are delighted.”
