'Forty hours ago we drank ALL the alcohol in Manchester': Pep Guardiola lauds his newly-crowned champions for shaking off their hangovers to put on an 'outstanding' performance in their pulsating 1-1 draw with Brighton

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola praised the professionalism of his newly-crowned Premier League champions after they 'drank all the alcohol in Manchester' ahead of a pulsating 1-1 draw at Brighton.

Guardiola was concerned his treble-chasing side may suffer a hangover in Sussex following the jubilation of the weekend's title celebrations.

But the Spaniard was pleasantly surprised by the performance of his players during a gripping south-coast contest.

Phil Foden fired City ahead at the Amex Stadium before Julio Enciso's stunning equaliser cemented sixth-placed Albion's place in next season's Europa League.
