Pep Guardiola makes desperate statement on Arsenal and PL title chase

On Thursday, Manchester City defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-2 in the Premier League to make sure that they remain in the title race. Despite the win, coach Pep Guardiola was not happy with their performance since they first conceded two goals before making a come-back.

The win now means that Manchester City are five points behind Arsenal in Premier League title race, but the gunners are yet to play their game for this matchday as they are scheduled to play against Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Despite his team’s success, Guardiola said after the match to the media that he was not satisfied with their performance. He explained: “I want a reaction, from the whole club, everyone. We’re a happy flowers team, I don’t want to be happy flowers.” Underlining his dissatisfaction and determination to beat Arsenal above all else, he added “I want to beat Arsenal. If we play that way Arsenal will beat us”.

Though Manchester City have suffered several defeats throughout this season they are still within striking distance of Arsenal. So the gunners will need to be very careful in this Premier League title race as Manchester City is a team that can still reach up to them in an instant if they start dropping valuable points.
