City conceded two late goals after appearing in complete control against Palace, who completed an extraordinary late turnaround at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, as Jean-Philippe Mateta’s goal and Michael Olise’s 97th-minute penalty clinched a 2-2 draw with the reigning champions.

“It’s not bad luck. It’s deserved. We gave away two points. For yourself, when you give this penalty [away] you deserve it. You see the chances we create and the chances we concede are quite similar all this season, except the Chelsea game. We are not able to close the games,’ said Guardiola on the club’s website.
