Pep Guardiola sarcastically congratulated Liverpool on winning this year's Premier League title, in response to a journalist's question, after Manchester City slipped to a shock 3-2 defeat at Norwich City. But the Catalan boss was keen to stress that the 2019/20 season is still young.
The Citizens found themselves two goals down inside half an hour, and the Canaries went on to clinch a dramatic win, thanks to some appalling defending by the away side.
After the defeat, Guardiola spoke honestly about the title race and his side's performance, but, as reported by Metro and The Guardian, the ex-Barcelona coach was keen to praise a Norwich side which defied all the odds against the Premier League champions.
