Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola has suggested why Tottenham Hotspur defeated his team 2-0 in the Premier League on Saturday.
Guardiola watched as two goals from Brennan Johnson and João Palhinha have Spurs all three points against City at Etihad Stadium.
Speaking at his post-match interview, Guardiola said that his team did not react well to Tottenham’s marking and pressing after conceding goals.
“We start well. We concede a goal that could happen. The simple things, we miss the simple things with the ball,” Guardiola told TNT Sports.
“We lost with the quality we have, individually the simple things with the ball we miss it. That is why in transitions and of course they score the second at the end of the first half it was difficult.
“We had chances but we didn’t react well with the marking and the pressing. We knew it. Because Thomas does it and it happens,” he said.
