Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola 'must accept' decisions don't always go your way, says Martin Keown

Sportsmail columnist Martin Keown has called Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola to 'accept' that inconsistencies are part of the English game.

Guardiola was left angry when Burnley's goal was allowed to stand despite Sam Vokes's challenge on City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo in the second half.

Referee Lee Mason allowed play to go on and Ben Mee scored a consolation goal as Burnley lost 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium.

Guardiola said after the match that he felt it Voke's challenge warranted a foul but added he would need to learn the 'special rules' of football in England.
