Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic admits the title run-in will be a test of nerve. (More Football News)
The champions kept the pressure on rivals Arsenal and Liverpool at the Premier League summit with an emphatic 5-1 win over relegation-threatened Luton on Saturday.
City now have just six games remaining of what has been an enthralling title race.
Kovacic, who scored City바카라s second goal in a commanding display at the Etihad Stadium, said: 바카라It바카라s amazing, it바카라s entertaining. Three amazing teams doing great.
바카라It will be tough until the end and let바카라s see who will have the strongest nerves until the end.
바카라It was important to keep the pressure on them but we are focused on ourselves, to win our games and then in the end we바카라ll see what happens.바카라
City dominated in all departments against the Hatters but they benefited from a huge slice of luck to take the lead after just two minutes.
Erling Haaland바카라s acrobatic volley was heading well wide until catching Daiki Hashioka in the face and deflecting into the net for a highly unfortunate own goal.
Perhaps with next Wednesday바카라s Champions League clash against Real Madrid in mind, City then played at a slow tempo and it was not until the 64th minute when Kovacic doubled the lead with a thunderous strike.
Haaland then added a penalty and the hosts finished strongly with further goals from Jeremy Doku and Josko Gvardiol after Ross Barkley had grabbed a consolation.
바카라We kept going, doing our job and in the end scoring five goals,바카라 said Kovacic. 바카라It could have been even more but we are happy with the three points. We have to keep going now.
바카라We approach every game focused, to be 100 per cent and do our best. I think this game was as important as Wednesday. We need to keep the same focus and try to win.바카라
Despite seeing his side outplayed and still rooted in the bottom three, Luton manager Rob Edwards was not downhearted and remained confident of survival.
Edwards said: 바카라This game was never going to derail us, whatever happened.
바카라The supporters have been incredible all season long, home and away. They are all behind the players and me and that is really special. It gives me belief.
바카라The players and the staff give me that belief as well and we know we are capable of winning the next five games. I바카라m not saying we바카라re going to win them all but we feel we can win enough games.
바카라We have got three home games and I think it is difficult for any team to come to Kenilworth Road. We are up for this challenge.바카라
