Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola was furious after his team allowed Crystal Palace to level their match at home.
Manchester City have won so many trophies over the last few years but they have started slipping. They forget that every match is 90 minutes.
It’s not bad luck, it’s deserved,” an angry Guardiola told reporters after the game. “We give away two points. When you give away this penalty, you deserve it. You see the chances we created and conceded, it’s quite similar to all this season — but we are not able to close the games. That is the feeling.”
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.
City has recorded six consecutive games this season without a win.
“At the end, be patient and don’t concede transitions and don’t concede,” Guardiola said.
“But of course in the first action [Palace] ran and scored a goal and in the last minute we gave them [a penalty]. In the 18-yard box, you have to be careful and we weren’t. We don’t deserve to win.”
The Blues are currently sitting fourth on the table with 34 points.
City have dropped nine points this season by conceding goals after the 80th minute.
