Pep Guardiola praised Manchester City's performance in their 1-1 draw at Newcastle, despite missing injured midfielder Rodri. He insisted that his side's display without the Spanish ace was 'exceptional'. Guardiola highlighted the contributions of Mateo Kovacic, Rico Lewis and Bernardo Silva in midfield.

Pep Guardiola became frustrated by repeated questions about Rodri after Man City's 1-1 draw at Newcastle , insisting his side's performance without the injured midfield ace was 'exceptional'. A day after revealing Rodri would be out for the entire season with a cruciate ligament injury in his knee, Guardiola saw his City side drop points at St James' Park, with Anthony Gordon's penalty levelling the match following Josko Gvardiol's opener.

However, Haaland was able to play the entire 90 minutes. 'He has some knocks here but we will see in the next days ,' said Guardiola afterwards. The City boss is also without another key man Kevin De Bruyne, while Oscar Bobb and Nathan Ake are also sidelined.
