Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva says his side were at a disadvantage against Arsenal because of the Premier League’s scheduling.
Gabriel Martinelli scored in stoppage time to earn Arsenal a 1-1 draw at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
City had 66 hours to prepare for the game after their 2-0 home win over Napoli in the Champions League on Thursday.
Arsenal won 2-0 against Athletic Club in Bilbao on Tuesday.
“It is not fair to play one of these games like this. It is just not right,” said Silva.
“The reality is we cannot come in to one of the most important games in the season with such a disadvantage, in terms of rest.
“I wasn’t feeling in a perfect condition to play like this, and people who have not played at the highest level don’t know how it feels to play a game like this. You need to be at your best condition.”
