Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan is adamant the title race isn't over after defeat at Liverpool on Sunday.

Premier League leaders Liverpool went nine points clear of City with a 3-1 over their title rivals at Anfield on Sunday.

However, Gundogan refused to concede defeat in the title race, saying: "We have to accept it, but there is a long way to go. Last season in January we were quite far behind and able to turn it around.

“But we are not independent any more – we have to see how our competitors do, especially Liverpool, and that makes the situation more uncomfortable.

“We have to keep trying to play well and amass as many points as possible.

“I don't feel the title has already gone, and I don't think the Liverpool players will feel like that, because we are all professionals.

“We all try to do our best on the pitch but sometimes it doesn't work out – we are human beings."
