Pep Guardiola saluted the endeavour of his Manchester City players in Wednesday night’s thrilling 1-1 draw at Brighton after they had “drunk all the alcohol in Manchester” on Sunday night during their Premier League title celebrations.
City were presented with the trophy after their 1-0 home win against Chelsea, although their triumph had been sealed on Saturday when their nearest challengers, Arsenal, lost at Nottingham Forest. It was the prompt for a deserved party, even if Guardiola himself took it easy.
