The former Atletico Madrid man also underlined the importance of City's quick start against Neil Warnock's men, with the hosts scoring twice in the opening 15 minutes.
He added: "It was a very good game for us. We are happy with the win and reaching the next round of the FA Cup.
"We played well; from the start we gave it our all. We had spoken about having to give our all in the first 15 minutes.
