Manchester City's stars were told not to feel sorry for themselves at half-time of Sunday's victory at Luton Town that brought an end to the stickiest period of Pep Guardiola’s time in England.
The Premier League champions had already gone four matches without winning before Elijah Adebayo headed Luton into a shock lead on the stroke of half-time.
Guardiola went down the tunnel in deep conversation with Craig Pawson about the lack of additional time played in the first half. The City boss then felt his players had a sinking feeling inside the dressing room, with worries about ceding more ground in title race.
