Pep Guardiola admitted Manchester City were “not prepared” as they suffered a shock 2-0 defeat against struggling Southampton in the League Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday.
Guardiola’s side paid the price for a limp display and never recovered after first half goals from Sekou Mara and Moussa Djenepo at St Mary’s. City sit second in the Premier League, while Southampton are languishing at the bottom of the table.
But that huge gap wasn’t evident on a wet and windy night on the south coast that Guardiola will want to forget in a hurry. This match was an online betting heaven.
