The Manchester City boss felt Oleksandr Zinchenko's second-half sending off was a "key point" which allowed Spurs to seize the initiative in the match
Pep Guardiola has expressed his belief that Manchester City are not getting the results that their performances deserve at the moment, in the wake of a damaging defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs earned a 2-0 home win over the Premier League holders on Sunday, thanks to second-half goals from debutant Steven Bergwijn and Son Heung-min.
City squandered several clear cut opportunities in the first half, with Sergio Aguero hitting the post and Ilkay Gundogan missing a penalty kick.
