Pep praises his 'honest' leaders

Guardiola bites back at Mourinho diving digs after Old Trafford win

MANCHESTER, England - Pep Guardiola said Manchester City's triumph in the Manchester derby was a victory for the honesty of his players and their brand of soccer following criticism from Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho.

Set-piece goals from David Silva and Nicolas Otamendi earned City a 2-1 win at a snow-flecked Old Trafford on Sunday, propeling Guardiola's side 11 points clear of second-place United at the Premier League summit.
