Pep Guardiola praised his Manchester City players for playing with intensity in the 1-1 draw with Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday night, just 48 hours after some late-night parties to celebrate becoming Premier League champions.
For the first time since February, City failed to win a league game as a stunning goal by Brighton's Paraguayan teenager Julio Enciso snapped their 12-game winning run.
Erling Haaland, who set up Phil Foden's opener, had a late goal disallowed, resulting in a yellow card for Guardiola. City have one more league game left before an FA Cup final against Manchester United and then a Champions League final against Inter Milan.
Victories in both will see City match Manchester United's treble, so Guardiola's side might have been excused taking their foot off the gas having won a fifth title in six seasons at the weekend.
