Manuel Pellegrini won’t give up on title bid despite Liverpool defeat

• Manchester City manager Pellegrini admits to concerns about team

• Brendan Rodgers calls Liverpool brilliant

• Match report: Liverpool 2-1 Manchester City

Manuel Pellegrini refused to concede Manchester City’s title defence is over after losing 2-1 at Liverpool, although the manager is concerned at his team’s performances and its failure to deal with pressure.

With Chelsea playing Tottenham Hotspur in the Capital One Cup final, City missed a chance to close the gap on Chelsea, the league leaders, to two points due to fine long-range goals from Jordan Henderson and Philippe Coutinho.
