Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says it was a “step forward” for his team despite their 3-2 defeat to AC Milan.

Erling Haaland put City ahead at Yankee Stadium when he struck a left-footed shot after a save from Oscar Bobb.

Lorenzo Colombo equalized and quickly scored the second for the Italian team, who reached the break ahead.

James McAtee headed City to level the game 2-2 before Marco Nasti scored the winner with a volley from the edge of the box to give AC Milan victory.

Guardiola’s side also failed in the first pre-season game of the North American tour against Celtic, but the City manager feels the Premier League champions are making progress.

“We were better than in the first game and some players took a step forward,” he said after the game.

“It was very good overall, everyone was very good against a senior Champions League team like AC Milan.

“It was a step forward, no injuries, minutes in the legs, another test and now we fly to another game in a few days.”
