“It’s nice to score and help the team win. Overall, we played the game well and deserved the victory. Everyone came back in a very good mood and ready to do it all again. It was a difficult opponent to start with. We beat Chelsea and Liverpool in the League Cup, so let’s see who the next opponent is. But our task is to look at each game separately, and now we focus on the next Premier League game, which is of the utmost importance to us at the moment,” Mahrez was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.

Mahrez scored one of Manchester City's goals in the match. The win was an important one for Manchester City as they look to defend their Premier League title this season. Mahrez, who has been a key player for City since joining the club in 2018, was clearly delighted with the result and the team's performance.

Manchester City have had a good start to the season, winning four of their first five Premier League games and qualifying for the next round of the League Cup. However, the next few games will be tough for City, with games against the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Mahrez's comments suggest the team are taking each game as it comes, focusing on the task at hand rather than looking too far ahead. That focused mentality will be crucial as City look to navigate a tough schedule and maintain their position at the top of the table.

The weekend win was also important for City's confidence, as they had previously suffered a surprise defeat to newly promoted Nottingham Forest. Bouncing back with a convincing win will have given the players a boost and reinforced their belief that they can continue to succeed this season.

Overall, Mahrez's comments underline the determination and professionalism of the team as they look to defend their Premier League title. With the quality and depth in the squad, Manchester City will be confident of mounting a strong challenge on multiple fronts this season.
