Manchester City slipped nine points behind Liverpool at the top of the Premier League on Sunday, but Pep Guardiola still took heart from his team's performance during the 3-1 defeat at Anfield.
Speaking to Sky Sports' Ben Grounds (h/t Premier League), Guardiola waxed lyrical about what his players produced:
Premier League"The way we played was incredible, I'm so proud of my players – away from home against the best team in Europe...with the injuries that we had in the squad the way we played was awesome" - Pep Guardiola #LIVMCI https://t.co/WhIoD4kyDF
Those words may seem at odds with the scoreline after goals from Fabinho, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane gave the Reds all three points.
