Claudio Bravo admits Manchester City are heading into the international break with a sour taste in the mouth after conceding a last-gasp equaliser to Middlesbrough.
City paid the price for failing to kill off Boro at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday as Marten de Roon snatched a 1-1 draw with an injury-time header.
The result cost Pep Guardiola's side top spot in the Premier League and punctured the feelgood factor created by Tuesday's exhilarating Champions League victory over Barcelona.
City only had themselves to blame after spurning numerous chances throughout the game. They had 18 shots in the first half alone but did not take the lead until Sergio Aguero registered his 150th City goal - and his 14th of the campaign - in the 43rd minute.
"It is disappointing," said goalkeeper Bravo, who could do little to keep out a thunderous header by De Roon after the Dutchman latched onto Stewart Downing's pinpoint cross. "We leave with a bad feeling.
"We had been creating chances and playing good but we didn't get the result. We got possession and created lots of chances but we didn't score many goals.
"It is very hard to play against teams like Middlesbrough but we need to improve both in attack and defence.
"There is never an easy game, every game is tough, but we want to beat every team either at home and away. We have to keep working."
