Pep Guardiola lost his rag with the match officials - but then accepted his players were to blame for the kind of result that costs titles.
The Manchester City boss flew into a rage on the touchline over referee Graham Scott’s performance and was booked for voicing his opinion too strongly after claiming the champions should have had a penalty for Joe Worrall’s tug on Erling Haaland's shirt.
But after cooling his temper, Guardiola accepted the result was down to City’s failure to kill off Steve Cooper’s battling Forest.
