Joe Hart: Manchester City need to close the gap on Manchester United

Man City keeper Joe Hart said the gap between themselves and title rivals Man United is getting too big as the Citizens dropped points in a 2-2 draw with Liverpool.

City had to come from behind to rescue a point as Sergio Aguero grabbed what could prove to be a vital goal at the Etihad. 

Hart said: "Unfortunately it's a big gap and it's getting too big for our liking but we've got to move forward. 

"We've put ourselves in a worse position than we would like to be but we know we'll always be there (in the race)." 

Controversy surrounded Daniel Sturridge's equaliser in the first-half as the home fans cried out for a foul after Edin Dzeko lay on the ground with a head injury.

However, Hart refused to hide behind the issue and added: "I didn't really know what was going on I was focusing on the ball. In an ideal world we get the free-kick and we score from it but it's not an ideal world."
