Brutal Pep Guardiola verdict on Man City vs Crystal Palace amid Rico Lewis honesty

Manchester City have put themselves at risk of falling further behind in the Premier League title race after surrendering a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Rico Lewis netted his maiden top flight goal in the second half but it did not help towards three points thanks to Michael Olise’s 95th-minute penalty for the visitors. He pointed out that City must solely shoulder the responsibility for not getting the win.
