Pep Guardiola says he could never send his Man City team out to play the way Arsenal did on Sunday.
The two teams played out a dramatic 2-2 draw at Eastlands which saw Leandro Trossard sent off and Rodri leave the pitch with a potentially season-ending injury.
The ten-man Gunners nearly came away with a win after a backs-to-the-wall defensive performance that kept the Premier League champions at bay until the 98th minute when John Stones scored an equaliser.
Guardiola said he texted Arsenal manager and former Man City colleague Mikel Arteta afterwards to praise his side’s performance, but told the media that he could not do something similar with his team.
