Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has described his team’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur as a setback in their Premier League title chase. The result, played on Sunday, means City have managed just one league win so far this year, raising concerns about their consistency at a crucial stage of the season.

The draw allowed Arsenal to open a six-point gap at the top of the table after their convincing 4-0 victory over Leeds United a day earlier. City’s dropped points have given the Gunners a stronger grip on the title race, putting more pressure on Guardiola’s side as the season enters its final stretch.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Guardiola admitted the situation is challenging but insisted the title race is far from over. He noted that the Premier League is unpredictable and said City showed signs of improvement late in the game. With 14 matches still to play, the Spanish coach believes there are enough points available to change the situation.

Arsenal could extend their lead further when they face Sunderland, while Manchester City are preparing for a tough clash against Liverpool this weekend. As the title battle heats up, Guardiola is hoping for a strong turnaround from his players in the weeks ahead.
