Pep Guardiola unfazed after Manchester City lose Premier League lead

Indeed, Wolves’ energetic efforts were rewarded in the 57th minute when they nudged themselves into the lead as Willy Boly stooped to head home a deep cross from Joao Moutinho. Guardiola was asked in the light of that incident, that whether VAR should be introduced in the English top-flight, to which the Catalan manager responded, “The Premier League will decide when VAR will be here, it’s none of my business”.

In the 69th minute, Manchester City’s Ilkay Gundogan tossed a free-kick at the far post which Aymeric Laporte fired into the net levelling the score for his side.

City are still on top of the Premier League standings with seven points after three games played this term.

“But we still have to get some sort of satisfaction that we got ourselves back into such a tough game and ultimately created a lot of chances”.

Pep Guardiola has launched a passionate defence of Leroy Sane and insists last season’s PFA Young Player of the Year still has a major role to play in his side.

Sergio Aguero – searching for his first away league goal in 2018 – hit the bar with a free kick in stoppage time, but Wolves clung on to claim a valuable point.

“We created enough chances to win the game but it doesn’t count and we drew the game 1-1 and I don’t have too many regrets”, said Guardiola. We improved on last week against a fantastic team and a fantastic coach, let’s do it again next week. But against Everton during the Premier League’s opening weekend, they showed incredible resilience to finish the game 2-2.

Although Wolves were in a different division to their opponents last season they did take on the Citizens, when the two sides did battle in the Carabao Cup at the Etihad Stadium.

Wolves had been impressive from the start and midway through the first half, Raul Jimenez’s strike looked to have put them ahead only for the goal to be ruled out for a narrow offside.

It was unusual territory for City, who then conceded a 57th-minute goal to add to their frustrations.

City were good value for their point but they looked unusually vulnerable against Nuno Espirito Santo’s well-drilled side. Try to think about winning the game, and that’s what Nuno did with Wolves. “We played in the shape and style we believe in”. “Every manager can do what they want because they know their teams”.
