The treble winners were then left stunned after Crystal Palace completed a late comeback.
Speaking after the match, City boss Guardiola said: “It’s not bad luck, it’s deserved. We give away two points.
“When you give away this penalty, you deserve it. We are not able to close the games. That is the feeling.
“It’s like the penalty against Chelsea. We don’t deserve it. We were excellent, like against Liverpool and Spurs, but we were not able to win the games so we are not consistent enough to close the games for many reasons.”
