Enzo Mareska, the manager of Manchester City, has expressed his preference for a quieter match following a topsy-turvy encounter that saw his side edge Sunderland 5-3 at the Etihad Stadium.
The Citizens conceded three goals in an open and frenetic game but managed to secure the win, earning them three crucial points.
The Italian tactician took a measured approach in assessing the high-scoring affair, highlighting some positive takeaways from the match:
Too many goals, far too many. I’d much rather see a scoreline of 1-0. Yes, there were certainly positives. Jeremy Doku is back in action. When he was on the pitch, we were doing really well. Nico O’Reilly also had a fantastic moment during the game. Overall, I am pleased with the result and proud of the players' effort.
