Pep Guardiola<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola blasted his team after their careless defending and a needless late-game penalty cost them a much-needed victory in a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday, saying they deserved the result.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not bad luck, it\u2019s deserved,\u201d an angry Guardiola told reporters after the game. \u201cWe give away two points. When you give away this penalty, you deserve it. You see the chances we created and conceded, it\u2019s quite similar to all this season \u2014 but we are not able to close the games. That is the feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n
City have looked uncharacteristically vulnerable after a run of six games with only one win.<\/p>\n
Jack Grealish and Rico Lewis scored in the first half at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, but Jean-Philippe Mateta pulled one back for Palace and then Michael Olise converted a penalty in the 95th minute after Phil Foden fouled Mateta in the box.<\/p>\n
The draw left the treble winners fourth in the crowded title fight on 34 points, but City have played one more game than the three teams above them: Liverpool, who are top on 37 points, Arsenal and Aston Villa, who all play on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end, be patient and don\u2019t concede transitions and don\u2019t concede,\u201d Guardiola said of the disappointing result.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut of course in the first action [Palace] run and score a goal and in the last minute we give them [a penalty]. In the 18-yard box you have to be careful and we weren\u2019t. We don\u2019t deserve to win.\u201d<\/p>\n
City have dropped nine points this season by conceding goals after the 80th minute.<\/p>\n
