Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has claimed that Arsenal and Liverpool’s ability to score late goals is helping their Premier League title bid.

According to the Spaniard, this is something his City side don’t have.

Guardiola is looking to win his sixth Premier League title and watched his team hammer Luton 5-1 at the Etihad on Saturday.


But Guardiola believes that constant late shows at Anfield and the Emirates have put Liverpool and Arsenal in control.

He said: “The only biggest difference between Arsenal, Liverpool and us is that they won a lot of points in stoppage-time. A lot. That helped them be in the position they are.

“Of course, all three teams have had incredible seasons. But they won a lot of points for the talent they have because of this [late goals].

“It happened for Liverpool many times in the last eight years and for Arsenal many times, because of their talent. It’s a credit to them, not the opposite.”
