- City went 1-0 down at home for third time this season
- Guardiola praises two-goal midfielder Mateo Kovacic
Pep Guardiola denied he has any concerns about Manchester City’s defence after they conceded the first goal in their 3-2 win against Fulham, after doing so earlier in the season in the victories over Ipswich and Brentford.
Andreas Pereira scored the opener for Marco Silva’s side in the 26th minute. Against Ipswich in August Sam Szmodics did the same after seven minutes and Yoane Wissa for the Bees inside a minute at the Etihad last month. Guardiola was asked if this is a cause for worry. “I would say except Wissa against Brentford, in the other ones we were playing good,” he said. “It’s not nice to come back from 0-1 but we created chances today to go 1-0 and 2-0.”
