Pep Guardiola said Manchester City have to “break” their losing run after admitting he is in a worse spell than he ever expected and told his players they cannot ignore the reality of their slump.
City were beaten 4-0 at home to Tottenham, the joint heaviest loss of Guardiola’s managerial career, to leave them on their longest sequence of defeats for 18 years and him in the worst run of a career that has brought him 12 league titles and three Champions Leagues.
