City faster than Bayern or Barcelona – Pep

Within two minutes the tide had swung in Chelsea’s favour as Cesc Fabregas, nowhere to be seen on the pitch till that moment, pinged a flawless 60-yard pass to compatriot Diego Costa, who effortlessly swatted Nicolas Otamendi aside before burying it past Claudio Bravo. But my intention is to be at Celtic for as long as I possibly can to let the club grow and to take it as far as I can.

“I don’t like to publicise things”. This is not part of the attractive football.

City’s fans were incensed by referee Anthony Taylor, who elected not to punish Luiz for impeding Aguero when he was clean through on goal and also turned down three penalty appeals by the hosts. When you attack good, you defend good.

“I have not spoken to him about it – if it is on TV, we will see about it”. “Of course, when I win I am happier and when I don’t win I am not so happy”.

Aguero himself will receive his four-match ban as expected, the extra game tacked on due to his retrospective three-match ban earlier this season for elbowing Winston Reid.

Both the players no face multiple games suspension.

It was a frustrating afternoon for Pep Guardiola as his City side wasted several chances to double their advantage, none more so than former Blue Kevin de Bruyne who blazed over from inside the six-yard box with the goal gaping.

Guardiola said: “Fernandinho went to defend because the opponent was like this (shoving) his team-mate”.

“I know Sergio’s tackle was in no way good, but what happened after that when a few of their boys came in I didn’t think it was fairly balanced”.

When Navas’s crossed was recklessly met by Cahill’s weaker foot, the deflection gave Thibaut Courtois no chance and City had a lead through a self-goal, despite Aguero’s wastefulness in front of goal. Eden Hazard wrapped up the comeback in the last minute before the game ended with those ugly scenes.

Away form means that City are still very much in the title race, for the moment, four points off Chelsea.

Luiz said: “Yes, it is very nice but the league hasn’t finished yet”.

“He’s one of the first names on the teamsheet and he’s scoring goals every week, it’s great for us having him and Tom Rogic pushing on from midfield and scoring goals and I get to do all their dirty work which is lovely”.

Arsenal take on FC Basel in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

A week after finally earning his first win in charge of the Welsh club, Bradley saw his side overwhelmed by Tottenham and return to the bottom of the 20-team standings. “It’s a red card, okay, we are going to deal with that”. We have to stay in this position. When we are talking about the last game, I’m so satisfied.

The emotion was on view even before the game at the Etihad when the crowd immaculately observed a minute’s silence for the victims of Monday’s air crash involving Brazilian team Chapecoense, a tribute that was mirrored at matches throughout the league.

“Because there is no barrier then; we have the whole bit so there would be no barrier to where we could go”.
