Pep Guardiola says as long as his team are creating chances, that is all he can ask.

The City boss says his players showed character in the 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace.

When asked why his team have scored so many goals this season, but failed to score a goal in six games.

“I don’t know, I would like to know the answer,” said Pep.

“We created chances today like we did against West Ham in midweek, but we were there to create the chances, even with 10 v 11 we created more chances. They defended really well.”

The boss was then asked about the games against PSG, Southampton as well as Palace.

“At PSG we created enough chances to score, Southampton not so much and maybe today with 10 v 11, it was more difficult too. You have to be solid, patient and the goal will come.

“We created enough to win today.”
