MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said Saturday's 3-2 derby defeat by Manchester United shows that winning the Premier League isn't as easy as his team have made it look this season.

City could have wrapped up the title with a victory but instead they suffered their first home defeat this season, giving up a two goal lead in the process and leaving them possibly needing two more wins from their last six games.
