Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola refused to blame officials for his team's draw with Tottenham.
The treble winners were unable to hold on to a home win, despite being 3-2 up in the latter stages.
There was late controversy in the game, with Jack Grealish being through on goal, but the referee stopping the game for a foul on Erling Haaland.
Post-game, Guardiola stated that the referee was not the reason for the result.
I make mistakes, the players make mistakes," Guardiola said after the game.
It surprised me that in the moment when Erling goes down in the action from [Ben] Davies it was fine but in the right moment he stand up and the referee make the gesture to play on. After he made the pass he stopped the game. I don't want to criticize them.
In the touchline sometimes I lose my mind, my gesture was not proper. As a manager, I am not the guy when I am refreshed to comment.
We didn't draw because of that. They are happy, we are a little bit less happy."
