Bernardo Silva acknowledged Manchester City s 14-point gap to Premier League leaders Liverpool is a really bad situation after Friday s dramatic 3-2 defeat to Wolves.
Liverpool – who have a game in hand on City – thrashed Leicester City 4-0 on Thursday to increase their lead at the top and Pep Guardiola s men were unable to make a dent in that at Molineux.
Despite having Ederson sent off in the 12th minute, City found themselves two up early in the second half thanks to a Raheem Sterling brace.
But Adama Traore inspired Wolves, scoring from 25 yards before setting up Raul Jimenez s equaliser in the 82nd minute – picking the Mexican out after capitalising on a woeful Benjamin Mendy error.

Pep Guardiola admitted he will face a nervous wait to see if all of his Manchester City players come through the international window unscathed ahead of a crucial run of games.
City kept alive the possibility of a second treble as they beat Newcastle 2-0 on Saturday to become the first team in the history of the FA Cup to reach the semi-finals in six consecutive seasons.
But the majority of Guardiola’s squad will now be heading off to play international football before the crunch Premier League fixture against title rivals Arsenal on March 31.
A Bernardo brace sends us to the semi-finals of the FA Cup!
