Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said his team lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League because of fatigue.
Guardiola said that the distance between Manchester to London is exhausting and that is why his players lost.
"Coming from Manchester to London, it's like going to northern Europe. It's four hours, 20 minutes to get to a hotel. It's so exhausting, I'm sorry. We need to come back to Manchester and prepare the game against Aston Villa," said Guardiola.

Guardiola is a no-nonsense manager and people were expecting him to roast his players after the match for conceding a 'stupid' goal in the EPL.
There was confusion in City's defence and Harry Kane didn't hesitate to score after he received the ball in the opponent's penalty box.
City who are second on the EPL table failed to reduce the gap to two points after Arsenal slipped away to Everton by 1-0 at Goodison Park on January 4, 2023.
City fans haven't taken it lightly especially after noticing that they have beaten Spurs on many occasions despite traveling all the way from Manchester by train.
They think Pep is running out of ideas nowadays after losing to Manchester United at Etihad and now to Tottenham in the EPL.
The number one spot in the league is still open and Pep will have to beat Arsenal twice in both legs of the EPL to jump to the first spot.
