Title defenders Manchester City lost the clash against Tottenham Hotspurs on Sunday, while Pep had an amusing factor to blame. Pep Guardiola, City’s coach blamed their ‘exhausting’ travel to North London the main reason for their defeat. The 52 year old stated that travelling to London by road is like ‘travelling to Europe’, labelling it the main reason for their 1-0 defeat against Spurs.

“Coming to London is like going to northern Europe, It is four and a half hours to get to a hotel. It’s so exhausting to come to London, I’m sorry.” Pep Guardiola stated in their 1-0 defeat as Harry Kane’s early goal made all the difference. “We need to come back to Manchester and prepare for the game against Aston Villa.” Guardiola added, already looking forward to bounce back from the defeat.
