Manchester City’s title ambitions were dealt a massive blow when they lost a heated derby against Manchester United on Sunday. The defeat meant they are now fourteen points behind league-leaders Liverpool and six behind second-placed Leicester City.
Pep Guardiola’s side has struggled to cope without centre-back Aymeric Laporte, who is expected to return in January after making progress on his injury. But the Citizens are still too far away from the top and the loss to United really hurt them.
But Guardiola accepted the result and praised City’s arch-rivals good work to get out a win from the Etihad Stadium.
