City moved 11 points clear of second-placed United as Nicolas Otamendi’s second-half strike gave the visitors a record-equalling 14th successive Premier League victory.
United boss Mourinho felt Pep Guardiola’s side rode their luck at Old Trafford, with Ander Herrera booked for diving after a tackle by Otamendi that the hosts claimed was worthy of a penalty.
But he conceded his old rival Guardiola is highly likely to lead City to the title.
Asked if the race was over, Mourinho said: “Probably, yes.
“I’m pretty sure everyone is going to fight for points and try and reduce the distance, but the advantage is a very good one.
“Manchester City are a very good team and they are protected by the luck, and the gods of football are behind them.
“They are lucky, they have decisions in their favour.
City Were Lucky But Title Race Is Over, Says Mourinho
