Pep Guardiola was subject to the wrath of Anfield after Manchester City’s devastating 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday, but the Spaniard took it well.
City were comfortably beaten 2-0 at Anfield thanks to a goal in each half from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah.

In reality, it could have been much worse for City, with Liverpool passing up numerous big chances to extend their lead.
The Reds attempted 18 shots on the day, generating a whopping 3.35 xG, compared to just eight and 0.82, respectively, for City.
Sunday’s loss now extends City’s incredible slump to six defeats and a draw in their last seven games across all competitions, while they’ve lost each of their last four Premier League outings.

“This season, Man City will not win the Premier League.”
