LONDON - Pep Guardiola claimed Manchester City's 1-0 win over Tottenham was extra special because of the problems posed by Wembley's damaged pitch. For our players and the players of Tottenham, hopefully they will sort the problem for the future. Guardiola hailed City's Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk last week as the finest display of his reign in Manchester. Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld blamed the pitch, saying: "I have to be honest, the pitch wasn't good. Last season it was difficult to compete against Manchester City, but today the level was closer."
