Vincent Kompany claims Manchester City will not be worrying about their rivals after they claimed their first away victory in the Champions League.

Roberto Mancini's men moved up to second in Group A with an impressive 3-0 win over Villarreal in Spain. Kompany was delighted with his side's performance as they became the first English side to win at El Madrigal.

"We put in a good shift and did everything as we planned it," Kompany told ITV. "We didn't do anything crazy, we were patient and it paid off for us.

"I think defensively this was our strongest performance in the Champions League, then our strikers are lethal on their day and they did a great job today.

"We have scored goals nearly every game, a lot of goals. There are a lot of partnerships there and that's a good thing, we can change a lot of players and we don't lose strength, which is important."

Next up for City is QPR and Newcastle in the Premier League before a crunch trip to Italy, where a win against Napoli would be enough to secure their play in the last 16 of the competition.

"It's a big game, but that's what you play Champions League for," he said. "We've always thought if we do our job properly then we are as strong as anyone. We don't need to look too much at the other teams, we can win every game."
