Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola accepted their 3-3 draw with Tottenham on Sunday.
Spurs found an equaliser via Dejan Kulusevski in injury-time to earn the draw.
Guardiola later said: "Yes we continued playing a good level again today. Unfortunately against Liverpool as well this happens [City do not kill the game].
"This was a moment where we get to see the team, how they react, how we step forward. It was a top performance again against a top, top team.
"Second half Spurs stepped forward, a little higher up the pitch. But when you concede just three or four chances from them... of course they have important absences but even with that they get the result. But yeah it is what it is.
On conceding more goals in the last few games, he also said: "In the Chelsea game yes it was a concern but Liverpool and Spurs no. The problem is when the opponent creates a lot of chances, which today [Spurs] and Liverpool did not. But again in the moment, the transition after the corner, and again for another we make a mistake and concede.
"Football is about mistakes sometimes, but still we are there. After many years we still have the feeling that we want it [the title]."
Guardiola continued: "Sometimes I lose my mind about the referees, but here no. Always people can make mistakes. It surprised me for the fact that he went to whistle when Erling went down, after he stood back up and made the pass so the referee made the gesture to play on. But then when the ball goes to Jack, then the whistle. That makes you think *gasps argh*.
"If in the right moment when Erling went down he whistled then you say 'ok', but whistling after saying play on... I don't know. It was a good game, everyone enjoyed it. Spurs are so happy, we are less so. Next on to Villa Park for the next game and to go again.
