"They are rested, we did not". Walker named the reason for Man City's defeat to Bournemouth
The 10th round of the Premier League was filled with surprises. After Arsenal’s defeat to Newcastle (0:1), Manchester City fell to Bournemouth (1:2).
After the match, City captain Kyle Walker explained the reasons for his team's defeat.
Quote: "Coming here and not winning is always disappointing. Sometimes, I think you need to play with emotions. When we had injuries, Bournemouth had plenty of time — six days — to prepare for this game.
In the last ten minutes, we finally got onto the field, but losing 2-0 is always a tough battle.
We won’t use this as an excuse; we had players on the bench and in the starting lineup today who were ready to step onto the pitch. We must give credit to Bournemouth and move on to the next match," Walker said after the game.
Reminder: After this round, Liverpool returned to the top of the league table, with City trailing the Merseysiders by two points.
