What Neil Lennon had to say about Pep Guardiola.
The Northern Irishman, who also lauded Phil Foden’s assist for Jack Grealish, believes the Spaniard will be furious with his team if they concede more goals at the Etihad Stadium.
Midway through the second half, Jean-Philippe Mateta tapped in a low cross from Jeffrey Schlupp to put Manchester City to sleep.
Things went from bad to worse as Michael Olise scored a late penalty to tie the game at 2-2.

The treble winners led 2-0 thanks to goals from Jack Grealish and Rico Lewis.
“Again, City haven’t kept a clean sheet,” Lennon lamented after Mateta beat Ederson. I believe that goal could have been avoided, but I’m not sure if it was due to a bout of malaise.
“It is something that could have been avoided and he will be really frustrated, Pep Guardiola.”
Manchester City has only preserved three clean sheets in 11 games this season at the Etihad Stadium.
The treble winners have conceded eight goals in their previous four home games, which is quite unusual for Guardiola’s team, who seldom allow opponents so many shots, let alone goals.
Without John Stones, Manchester City were always going to be vulnerable.
Manchester City would have maintained considerably more clean sheets this season if John Stones had been able to play every game, in our opinion.
In his hybrid role beside Rodri, the England international provides a unique level of security, acting as an extra body when defending as well as attacking.
Manchester City have been rattled by Stones’ absence, as well as the far from seamless integration of Josko Gvardiol into the starting XI on the left, and it is now up to Guardiola to find ways to balance his side without the £47.5m player.
