Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits Wolves deserved their shock win today.

Wolves stunned City 2-1, with Hwang Hee-chan proving the matchwinner on the day as Julian Alvarez had brought City level after Ruben Dias' own goal.

Guardiola said: "Congratulations Wolves, they deserved it. We had chances and struggled to deal with transitions and they played very well.

"We were there and settled well and the question is when the opponent is faster and quicker, we have to accept it."

On the back of the loss in the EFL Cup, Guardiola insisted: "Different competitions. At Newcastle [we] were miles better than today and now we go onto the next one."

Regarding City's injuries, he added: "Bernardo [Silva] is soon to come back and John [Stones] is soon to come back and we will see how many players we have for the Champions League."
