Pep Guardiola believes the generally glowing public perception of Manchester City's performance does not always match his own assessment of the Premier League leaders.
City were held 1-1 at Burnley on Saturday - Johann Gudmundsson's late goal cancelling out Danilo's scorching opener - to allow Manchester United to cut their lead atop the table to 13 points.
Guardiola described City's performance at Turf Moor as "almost perfect", although his side failed to convert a number of fine chances, most notably Raheem Sterling contriving to miss an open goal from point-blank range.
Sean Dyche's men battled back into the match in the closing stages, forcing Ederson to make a magnificent save to tip an Aaron Lennon drive on to the post, leaving Guardiola impressed with the Clarets.
