The Swiss defender, who joined from Borussia Dortmund, continued to exhibit total comfort and was once more the ideal blend of composure and aggression as he finished the game with his second clean sheet in three games.
Guardiola responded, “More than extraordinary – he is so, so brilliant – whether the play is short or long – when he runs, he goes, but not too much to give away a penalty or cause falls.

“He has the ideal attitude to control the situation and is so aggressive to get across the opponent. Exceptionally good.
Recall that Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, praised Jack Grealish after his team defeated Wolves 3-0 on Saturday in the Premier League.
Grealish doesn’t lose the ball, according to Guardiola, who also noted that he played well against Wolves.
In an away Premier League match in Molineux, the former Barcelona manager observed Man City defeat 10-man Wolves.
The Premier League champions won all three points against the opponent with to goals from Grealish, Erling Haaland, and Phil Foden.
Grealish had a really fantastic game, Guardiola said when asked about him by BT Sport following the game.
“He was powerful, and getting there was a good goal. He is a man who never drops the ball. He will now join the national squad and, hopefully, return in good shape.
