Raheem Sterling has bemoaned Manchester City's failure to earn all three points against Newcastle United on Tuesday night.
The North-West outfit were restricted to a 1-1 draw at St James' Park.
City are currently third in the Premier League table, 12 points behind leaders Leicester City and one point above fourth-placed Arsenal with four games left to play.
"It's very disappointing," The Mirror quotes Sterling as saying. "It was a frustrating evening. We had the 1-0 advantage, and for third place, we have to defend a little bit better. That's all of us as a group.
"We know we want to have an automatic Champions League place next season. That's the target for the club, so the two points lost today are quite a loss."
City, who are in the semi-finals of the Champions League, are unbeaten in their last four league games.
