MANCHESTER (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – If it’s not a surrender, it’s very close. Manchester City drew 1-1 yesterday against Brighton, a third straight draw that this evening—if Arsenal beat Liverpool—could drop the Citizens to eight points off the top.
“Unfair result? It’s not a question of justice, a point for us and a point for them, that’s how it went,” commented Pep Guardiola. “The game was very similar to the second half against Sunderland. Against Chelsea, we perhaps had fewer clear chances, but we misplaced our passes in two-on-one situations. We played exceptionally well. In the past, we took advantage of these opportunities. We created chances and were solid in defense. We failed to finish our opportunities in the six-yard box. That’s why we didn’t win the match.”
In terms of performance, in short, the Catalan coach has little to reproach his team for, but the standings are now in disarray: “We haven’t won the last three games. Now it’s more difficult to win the league,” admitted Guardiola.
