Pep Guardiola got his first taste of victory as Manchester City’s manager Thursday (28 July 2016) night after beating Borussia Dortmund on penalties in a friendly, but expressed concern about the looming English Premier League season.”Football today is tough,” said Guardiola, whose side beat their German opposition in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen. City won, and finally got the workout Guardiola had craved, thanks to a 6-5 penalty shootout win over Dortmund, after the game ended one apiece. City keeper Angus Gunn was the hero of penalties with three saves, including the one sealing their victory when he palmed away Mikel Merino’s attempt.
