Guardiola Glad Man City Survived Liverpool's Second Half Onslaught
Pep Guardiola was glad Manchester City were able to survive Liverpool's second half onslaught in their Premier League encounter on Sunday.
A riveting game at Anfield ended 1-1, with Alexis Mac Allister's early second half penalty cancelling out John Stone's first half strike for the champions.
Following their equaliser, Liverpool were the better side for much of the second half, although both sides had chances to take all three points.
Guardiola appeared pleased with a point as only one point separate the top three sides.
City manager Guardiola said: “We spoke at half-time that in this stadium, if you have to defend something, you have to play and play and play.
“We gave away the penalty and, sooner or later, with this stadium, you have 15 or 20 minutes and it looks like a tsunami coming for everybody who has the ball.
“It is not easy but we never stopped trying to play. They had their chances, we had our chances and at the end of the game it (draw) is what happened.”
“Still there are 10 games to go, 30 points to play for, one point difference.
“The important thing is still we are there, after where we came from in previous seasons still we are there. Except one year when Liverpool won it with a lot of points, we were always there.”
Manchester City will host leaders Arsenal in their next Premier League game.
