VIDEO: Guardiola criticises the new rule for added time

Arteta's side issued a significant statement of intent ahead of the new season by fighting back to beat City 4-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Wembley on Sunday.

The Gunners won their first trophy of the season, but it could not have happened if Trossard had not scored the equaliser in the 101st minute. Eight minutes of added time were added due to the new injury time rule, something Guardiola is not happy about.

"It's not annoying. I mean, we have to get used to. I had the feeling not beacuse we were winning 1-0, it's just for the fact that I had the feeling that didn't happen much to extend 8 minutes," said the Catalan coach.

"But it's good question for the international board and all the people because they don't consult with the managers, with the payers what is their opinion. They moved it there, we have to accept it. With this amount of games now we are not going to play 90 minutes, now the games will be 100 minutes, that's for sure. Because they extend gor the goals and every time you score, but sa game 4-3? It's 30 seconds or 45 seconds for each goal? Tomorrow morning and I'm here still playing," concluded the Cityzens coach.
