'We put extra pressure on ourselves to score when they didn’t want to play': Pep Guardiola makes dig at Leicester's set-up in Manchester City's shock 5-2 home loss by Brendan Rodgers' men

Pep Guardiola has blamed his Manchester City side's shock 5-2 capitulation at the hands of Leicester City on the visitors' lack of desire to attack in the early stages of the game.

Man City had led through an early stunning strike from Riyad Mahrez before struggling to double their lead at the Etihad Stadium as they pressed ahead in trying to double their lead.

But Jamie Vardy equalised from the penalty spot before half-time, before the Foxes ran riot in the second half to net a further two spot-kicks, with the former England international grabbing a hat-trick.
