City suffered their first loss of the campaign as Jurgen Klopp's side maintained their 100 per cent start.

Pep Guardiola has 'congratulated' rivals Liverpool on winning the Premier League after Manchester City's loss at Norwich.

The City boss joked that Jurgen Klopp's side have won the league after Norwich overcame Man City 3-2, with Liverpool defeating Newcastle 3-1 to go five points clear at the top.

Speaking to reporters after the shock defeat to the newly-promoted Canaries, Guardiola joked that the Reds have already clinched the league title.

“We're in September... we're going to do that? Okay: congratulations, Liverpool, you are the champions.

“We're in September! We'll recover, go to Ukraine, then we come back.

“Of course, we've dropped five points. Tottenham was a pity because we played very well.

“Against Norwich, it was in the important parts, in set pieces for example, that the players have to know exactly what to do.”
