Pep Guardiola believes Manchester City were unlucky after watching his side thrashed at Everton

PEP GUARDIOLA bemoaned his side’s lack of firepower after watching his side suffer a 4-0 thrashing against Everton.

And the Spaniard also believes the result was typical of Manchester City’s season so far.

Guardiola suffered his heaviest league defeat as manager as Ronald Koeman’s side ran riot at Goodison Park thanks to goals from Romelu Lukaku, Kevin Mirallas, Tom Davies and new signing Ademola Lookman.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the encounter, an obviously frustrated Pep said: “Today was almost all the season and it’s tough for the players.

“We were good in the first half and created enough clear chances.

“It started at home to Everton when we missed two penalties. We create (chances) but we don’t score and then we get punished, It’s tough for the players.

“We went two down and then they defend with nine men behind the ball and counterattack.

“The consequence of the game is because of many other games this season.”

In truth Manchester City’s fragile defence was horribly exposed.

John Stones was yet again at fault for Everton’s fourth when he weak clearance deflected into the path of Lookman who made no mistake.

Claudio Bravo did little to prove he is worthy of replacing Joe Hart in the City goal and it now appears Guardiola’s side are chasing the top four rather than the title.
