Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, has revealed the factors that led to his side playing out a 1-1 draw with Everton.
Guardiola has blamed the draw on the defensive tactics employed by his boys in the game last night.
According to him, City might have drawn but it feels like they lost all three points in the encounter.
Erling Haaland, scored his 21st goal of the season but Everton’s Demarai Gray equalized with a stunning finish with 11 minutes to go in the match.
The Citizens dropped two points and now trail Arsenal by 7 points ion the Log.
Arsenal would eventually inflict a 4-2 defeat on Brighton to open up a seven points gap on the league standing.
According to Guardiola, City played well but were poor defensively.
He said “We played a real good game but they made a fantastic goal with the first shot on target they had.
“The result was not expected but this is football.
“Everton’s approach against us was different to Liverpool, they broke the rhythm but this is the Premier League. It is a strategy for the opponent. It is difficult against eight players who are in their 18-yard box all the time,” Guardiola said.
Manchester City’s next game will be against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday January 5th, with both teams slugging it out again three days later in the FA fixture at the Ethihad.
