Pep Guardiola called Manchester City’s 3-3 draw with Feyenoord “difficult to swallow” and admitted he understood the boos that greeted the final whistle after his side threw away a 3-0 lead in the last 15 minutes.

City at least avoided a sixth consecutive defeat but the manner in which they blew a commanding advantage will do little to settle nerves in and around the club ahead of Sunday’s trip to Premier League leaders Liverpool.
