Vincent Kompany described his team’s controversial stoppage-time victory at Bournemouth as “absolute madness” as Pep Guardiola’s side moved to the top of the Premier League for a few hours at least.
Kompany told Sky Sports: “It is madness. First thing I did was go to [Benjamin] Mendy and Bernard Silva and said ‘welcome to the Premier League.’
“It is absolute madness. Especially because I thought we played well. Just like we had against Everton, the few chances we have, we maybe don’t score them. Today we deserved to win but they made it incredibly hard for us.”
On the opening goal, the Belgian added: “I watched it back at half-time and said ‘if we are going to concede goals like this, then just focus on scoring’ because it was just an unbelievable goal, from an angle as well that I thought was impossible.
“It goes to show that no matter how much you dominate the game, anything can happen at any time therefore I am really happy, and what a strength of character to hang in there and finish it like we did.”
