Guardiola on the Title: "It's no longer all in our hands"

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expressed his disappointment following the 3-3 draw against Everton. This result could prove costly for the "Citizens," who failed to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal and no longer control their own destiny in the title race. Despite the setback, the coach stated he was pleased with his team's overall performance.

"It was a really good performance. In the first half, we played exceptionally – really, really well. In the second half, they upped their tempo, and perhaps we weren't as aggressive, and of course, we conceded a goal. Once they got back into the game, they adopted a typical English style – so, so aggressive in challenges. But overall, we performed very well," Guardiola commented.

"It was much harder for them to break us down than it was for us to break them. We were outstanding. We often reached the byline, took shots, created chances, and that's not easy because they defend excellently with ten men behind the ball and rely on the transitions of Beto and Dewsbury-Hall. We take the point and will continue to fight until the very end," the Spaniard added.

He was also questioned about Keane's rough tackle on Doku late in the match, for which the defender only received a yellow card.

"...Your pundits in the studio can say what they think about that," was his terse comment.

"Overall, we were good in building attacks. We often got down the left flank, where Doku was exceptional. Unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize, especially not in the way we did in the first half. Visiting Everton is always tough," the specialist further explained.

Finally, he commented on his team's chances in the title battle.

"It's no longer all in our hands. It was before, but not anymore. We still have more games. We'll see what happens," Pep concluded.
