Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was unhappy with the Wembley pitch after victory at Tottenham.
Riyad Mahrez grabbed the only goal of the game.
Guardiola said: “It was a great victory in special conditions, against one of the most physical teams in Europe. We had many chances. We have to score and we didn’t. That is why hopefully we will improve in the future.
“It was not football conditions to play. We reacted well. For our players and the players of Tottenham, hopefully they will sort the problem for the future.
“We missed a lot. You cannot expect against Tottenham to score a lot of goals, the pitch was complicated and we played against a physical team – with [Mousa] Dembele, [Davinson] Sanchez, [Toby] Alderweireld, [Eric] Dier – incredible physicality and the pitch was so complicated, it was so difficult.
“In the first 15-20 minutes of the second-half we should have the game over and the big events, like the Champions League, if we are not more clinical, sooner or later we are not going to win.”
