Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola has explained why his side played a 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League fixture.
Willy Boly opened scoring in the 57th minute for the home side before Aymeric Laporte equalized for Guardiola’s men in 69 minutes.
Guardiola said City drew because Wolve’s goalkeeper, Patricio made a lot of saves to prevent the Citizens from wining the match.
The Spaniard, however, praised his players for getting a point from the encounter.
“It was a very good point,” Guardiola told BBC Sport after the game. “We created chances but their keeper made saves, so today we draw. We knew how good they were this season.
“No complaints. We were in the second half four, five, six times in attack, but it’s always complicated. We created a lot, that’s why it’s good.
“In the first half Aguero hit the post, sometimes it goes in, sometimes not. It’s just we were not solid defensively today. That is why we conceded a few chances to them but in general the game, considering the quality of the opponent, was good. We have to give credit,” he said.
