THANKS FOR TUNING IN 🤝

That's all from the Etihad this evening following City's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.

Thank you, as ever, for tuning into our Matchday Centre to follow all the proceedings before we travel to Saudi Arabia for the FIFA Club World Cup. 

The action doesn't stop there this weekend with another MDC live for Gareth Taylor's side's trip to Everton in the Barclays Women's Super League. 

That one begins at 11:30 (UK), before the match kicks-off at 13:00 (UK). 

We'll see you there 👊

PEP GUARDIOLA REACTION 🗣

"It's not bad luck. We give away two points. You see the chances we create and conceded. We are not able to close the games.

"We were good but in the end if we give away a penalty we don't deserve it. Like the Chelsea penalty, we don’t deserve it [three points].

"Spurs and Liverpool were excellent but we were unable to win the games. We were not consistent enough."
