Guardiola gives up on title chase

After watching his team lose 4-0 at Everton on Sunday, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said his first season in English soccer will not end with a title.

City was beaten for the fourth time in its last eight league games as former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss Guardiola endured the most lopsided league defeat of his glittering managerial career.

And with his side 10 points behind leader Chelsea following Sunday's setback, Guardiola conceded the title is already beyond City.
