Pep Guardiola makes BIZARRE claim as to why Man City's title bid is still on track after 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest… as he admits his side rode their luck at the City Ground

Daily Mail  

Pep Guardiola admitted Manchester City rode their luck as he bizarrely claimed their title bid remains on track because of the City Ground pitch. In Guardiola’s 300th Premier League game, City were well below their best and had it not been for two bad misses from Chris Wood they may have slipped up. But goals in either half from Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland means City remain a point behind Arsenal with a game in hand, though goalkeeper Ederson suffered a first-half shoulder injury that Guardiola said ‘doesn’t look good’. This game was dangerous – the toss of a coin.’ Pep Guardiola claimed that better pitch conditions might have seen Nottingham Forest score some of their chances Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood missed a number of golden opportunities for the hosts The visitors struggled for clear-cut chances early on in the game, with Gvardiol's header coming on 32 minutes from a corner to break the deadlock.
