Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola refuses to panic after their 4-2 thrashing at Leicester City.

City lost for a second successive game, despite goals inside the last eight minutes from Aleksandar Kolarov and Nolito.

Guardiola would not criticise his team's defending after they had found themselves two goals down inside five minutes.

He said: "We defended well with these players at the beginning of the season and we played good teams at the beginning of the season so now we have to analyse the mentality of players to make a step forward. All managers need time.

"We tried until the end, always in one game there are some good things but it's difficult at this level when it's 2-0 after a few minutes."
