​Man City boss Guardiola: One mistake and we were punished

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola bemoaned his side's fortune after a 1-0 loss to Southampton.

The Citizens were on the front foot all game with 26 shots and 74 percent of possession.

However, it was the Saints who took the lead after a Che Adams strike - his first of the season.

And Guardiola admitted it was a tough blow.

"It was a really good performance but it was a résumé of this season," said Guardiola to reporters.

"We made a mistake and they punished us.

"We've lost a lot of games like this, and if you do that you can't compete to win the Premier League."
