Chelsea were at Etihad Stadium on Saturday when they went head to head against Manchester City

Following the match that saw the Citizens win 3-1 at home, manager Pep Guardiola has called out three of his stars over their performance during the encounter.

The manager blamed lkay Gundogan, Mateo Kovacic, and Bernardo Silva for failing to use debutant, Omar Marmoush to punish Chelsea’s high line.

Recall that Egyptian forward who signed for Man City from German side, Eintracht Frankfurt a few days ago, made his debut for Manchester City as they ran out 3-1 winners over Chelsea at the Etihad.

Marmoush was impressive with the pace and willingness to run in behind on several occasions during the match.

Guardiola was gladen by his performance and hailed him for his ‘incredible’ movement.

The manager, however, called out his midfielders who he felt should have maximised the player’s potentials.

He was the highlight of the match despite seeing a goal disallowed for offside. The Egyptian also forced Chelsea goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez into an early save after running beyond the Blues’ high line.
