Mahrez: We never doubted comeback

The Blues conceded two injury-time goals to find themselves 2-0 down at the Etihad on Thursday, but were revitalised after the break to come back and win 4-2.

Guardiola was furious after the match and embarked on a series of extraordinary rants that criticised his players, the City fans and even the whole ‘organisation’ at the club – and his frustrations were evident when he refused to tell Sky Sports what he told his players at half-time.

However, two-goal hero Riyad Mahrez was more accommodating, explaining that Guardiola was positive with his players at the interval, and knew the right things to say to push City to improve.
