City had the lead at home through an Erling Haaland penalty before Kaoru Mitoma struck Brighton's equaliser on the hour mark.
“It’s not about deserving to win the game,” said Guardiola. “The result is the result. I’m not a person who believes what we have done isn’t fair.
“One point for them, one point for us. That is what it is. It was quite similar to the second half against Sunderland, Chelsea maybe we had fewer clear chances, but we missed the passes when it was two against one.
“I like a lot of the way we played. Many new players and good things - I love that. But we didn’t score goals. Too many clear chances. It’s not just one or two players, it’s all the players up front.
“Scoring goals is part of our job when we analyse the game. We played exceptionally well.
“In the good moments in the past, always take the chances. We have the chances, and we did good things defensively. The defenders were really good, and we created a lot of chances in the six yard box that we could not score.
“Not just one player, everyone. That’s why we could not win the games.”
Asked if the result hurts their title hopes, Guardiola replied: “Of course if you don’t win games, you cannot think about these things.
“We had an incredible result at Nottingham Forest and after we’ve played three games and if analyse how we played, it’s really good."
