Pep Guardiola Says He's Not Frustrated By Manchester City's Goalless Draw With Liverpool

Manchester City could have made away with the maximum points from their Premier League match with Liverpool which ended in goalless draw, as Riyad Mahrez forfeited the chance of scoring the winning goal from a penalty late into the match.
Pep Guardiola dismissed any tendencies of being troubled by the result and his team's performance especially that moment Mahrez failed to convert the chance from the spot kick conceded by Van Dijk on Aleroy Sane 86th minutes.
"It's a good result, we got the last minute penalty, but it's ok," say Guardiola told the BBC Sport in post-match interview.
When asked if he feels frustrated they had a good chance [penalty] and lose it, he says "No, I'm not frustrated, i can't be frustrated by the performance, we have had in Anfield. We are such a young team."
He admitted to giving the instructions to Mahrez to take the penalty instead of Jesus saying, "He [Jesus] said he wanted to take the penalty, but i said that Mahrez should take the penalty. It was my decision."
Manchester City remain the table leaders and tallied in points with Chelsea and Liverpool which are in second and third place respectively.
