Pep Guardiola claims Man City are victims of their own success after loss at Chelsea

- After losing 2-0 to Chelsea over the weekend, Guardiola says every team wants to beat City

- Kante and Luiz helped the Blues bounce back to convincing victory over the Premier League champions

- The defeat was the Citizens' first defeat in the English topflight this season and they will battle Everton in their next meeting

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has admitted that every other team are working tirelessly to beat his team.

The Citizens' unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an end on Saturday, November 8 following their 2-0 defeat to Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge.

N'golo Kante and David Luiz were the goals scorers for the Blues as they overcame the Etihad Stadium outfit after regulation period.

This means that City have relinquished their leadership at the summit of the table for the first time in a long while but will hope they can return in a bit.

SunSport quoted Guardiola saying: "Everybody wants to beat us - being in the position that we are, playing a lot of games in the position that we have, in the way we want to play.

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?
