Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has heaped praise on Tottenham trio Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski following the Premier League match between the two clubs.
The league leaders were defeated by Antonio Conte's side 3 - 2, with Kulusevski and Kane scoring the winning goals for their team.
"Well it was a good game. We tried through many sides, especially down the left. It is very difficult, they defend so narrow," Guardiola said after the game, via
Mirror.
"Tottenham have a lot of quality, they give the ball to Harry Kane. They are really good up front.
"In the first half they have the goal and no more. In the second half they have one attack with Harry Kane at the start and they score.
"We try to score but we conceded the goal in extra-time."
The City manager added:
"It's difficult when they defend so deep. We had the chances to arrive and score. Unfortunately we cannot score.
"They are clinical. They have Kane and Son and Kulusevski. Their crosses we could not defend. We didn't have the momentum.
"We didn't need to lose a game already to know how hard it is [to win the league]. There are many, many games still to play."
