Victim complex at Man City reaches pathetic high as Guardiola claims he has 'smallest squad in PL'

MANCHESTER, England - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola claimed his squad depth is the lowest in the Premier League after Sunday's victory over Aston Villa left his side just three points off the top.

Goals by Rodri and İlkay Gündoğan and a penalty by Riyad Mahrez sealed a 3-1 win at the end of a week in which the champions were charged with more than 100 cases of alleged financial wrongdoing by the Premier League.

Holders Rangers moved into the quarterfinals of the Scottish Cup with a controversial 3-2 victory over Partick Thistle on Sunday in which they had to "gift" their opponents a goal.

Directo al inbox de Diego Cocca: Santi Giménez marcó un golazo en victoria del Feyenoord

Santiago Giménez no para de mojarla en el Feyenoord. El delantero mexicano anotó un golazo en la victoria 2-1 sobre el Heerenveen y con este mandó recado al nuevo entrenador de la Selección Mexicana, Diego Cocca: "aquí está su goleador, profe".

Bebote volvió a ser titular en el líder de la Eredivisie y parece que le tiene la carrera ganada al brasileño Danilo. 

"Santi ha crecido, físicamente lo está haciendo bien en cada oportunidad que se la ha dado. Por esa razón es el elegido de momento", señaló el técnico Arne Slot en la previa del partido.

Riyad Mahrez roasts himself on Twitter after painful miss vs. Aston Villa

Rodri was named Man of the Match for his dominate midfield display, including one headed goal, in Manchester City's 3-1 beatdown of Aston Villa on Sunday, but winger Riyad Mahrez was certainly a close second. The Algerian provided for Rodri from a corner kick, and then he scored City's third from the penalty spot.

Mahrez probably would've won the game's individual honor if he would've finished a second opportunity in the 84th minute. Instead, with just Emiliano Martínez to beat, Mahrez spooned an effort wildly over from eight yards out.
