Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Pep Guardiola admitted Manchester City had only themselves to blame for failing to kill off Nottingham Forest in a 1-1 draw that damaged their bid to retain the Premier League title.<\/p>\n

Arsenal’s 4-2 win at Aston Villa earlier on Saturday had moved them back to the top of the table at City’s expense.<\/p>\n

But Guardiola’s side were on course to regain pole position after Bernardo Silva’s 40th-minute strike from the edge of the area opened the scoring at the City Ground.<\/p>\n

However, Erling Haaland missed two sitters and Kevin De Bruyne also wasted a good chance before Chris Wood’s tap-in for his first Forest goal in the 84th minute rocked the champions.<\/p>\n

The result left second-placed City two points behind Arsenal, who have a game in hand to extend their title race lead after bouncing back from their midweek 3-1 loss to Guardiola’s men.<\/p>\n

Guardiola conceded City were the victims of their own downfall after such sloppy finishing.<\/p>\n

“It was a brilliant performance, we played really good but we didn’t score. At this level you have to score and that is why we dropped points,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The first half should already be 2-0 or 3-0, we conceded one shot on target and we dropped points. We are sad and disappointed but the way we played was really good.<\/p>\n

“We missed goals that were one metre to the goalkeeper, not just one, a few. That is why we didn’t win. What can I say?”<\/p>\n

Guardiola showed the tension is mounting in the title fight when he was booked in the second half.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard confronted the fourth official in a furious reaction to referee Graham Scott’s decision not to award a foul after Haaland went down under a challenge from Joe Worrall when clean through on goal.<\/p>\n

“We don’t make any excuses. I could say many things that have happened this season,” Guardiola said. “I am not a guy who is here to talk about things we cannot control.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know, it looks like the last man (Haaland) went to the keeper and fell down. Why would you fall down when you are one against one to the keeper?<\/p>\n

“I was complaining to the fourth official, why would Haaland stop when he was one-on-one to score a goal and after that I got a well deserved yellow card.”<\/p>\n
