\"Sterling\"<\/p>\n

Manchester City<\/a> forward, Raheem Sterling has blamed his team for their loss to Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Giving his assessment on City\u2019s defeat, the England forward said they lost the game because they failed to control Tottenham a bit better.<\/p>\n

Sterling said his side could have probably controlled the game a bit better but allowed Tottenham counter them, but promised that Pep Guardiola\u2019s<\/a> side will bounce back.<\/p>\n

He told Sky Sports: \u201cWe probably could have controlled it a bit better, we let them counter a bit, which was exactly what they wanted to do. They\u2019ve done the most important thing in football and put the ball in the back of net. And we couldn\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a difficult one to take but it\u2019s a long season. We were on the front foot, they kept fetting small counters. We should have controlled them a bit better. We\u2019ll bounce back.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve played with [Grealish] a few times, it\u2019s a good one [partnership]. It\u2019s still early days and we\u2019ll learn each other\u2019s game over the season and hopefully, we can play a lot more together.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always difficult to start with a defeat. It\u2019s a long road, we\u2019ll keep focussed and try to bounce back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
