Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola slammed Sadio Mane ahead of their title clash with Premier League leaders Liverpool next weekend.

Mane scored a last-gasp winner in the Reds' 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday, ensuring Liverpool remain six points clear of City at the top of the table.

The Senegal international also picked up a booking for diving at Villa Park, and Guardiola, speaking after City's 2-1 win over Southampton, took a swipe at the forward.

"It's happened a lot for Liverpool in the last years [scoring late on]. It's because he's a special talent," Guardiola said of Mane on the BBC.

"Sometimes he's diving, sometimes he has this talent to score incredible goals in the last minute. He's a talent.

"If it's one time, two times, 'we were lucky, we were lucky', but it happened in the last two seasons many, many times they have a special character to do that.

"We look at ourselves, we know which team we face, I think they have won 10 and drawn one. Next week we go to Anfield to try to play them."
