Pep Guardiola Praises Manchester City and Spurs for 'Playing a Good Game in Difficult Conditions'

Pep Guardiola has sympathised with Erik Lamela after the Manchester City manager confessed the Wembley surface helped City on their way to a 1-0 victory over Spurs.

The fixture was scheduled to take place on Sunday at the new White Hart Lane, but delays to the construction of the stadium have forced Spurs to play their home games at Wembley to the end of the year. Monday's match saw the two sides play on a field that had been torn up from the weekend's NFL action, when the Jacksonville Jaguars played the Philadelphia Eagles in London.
