Pep Guardiola becomes enraged and accuses Liverpool fans of throwing “coins” at him after a goal by Man City is disallowed because Erling Haaland was penalized.
The incident allegedly took place in the 53rd minute of the game at Anfield, after Phil Foden thought he had given City the lead with a close-range shot, only for the goal to be disallowed for a foul by Erling Haaland in the build-up.
Liverpool players immediately surrounded referee Anthony Taylor, alleging that Haaland had kicked the ball out of Alisson’s hands.
When Taylor was directed to check his pitch side monitor, he was instructed to look at an earlier incident involving Haaland.
Replays show that before challenging Alisson, the Norwegian got into a collision with Fabinho, and Haaland punched the Brazilian in the shirt, knocking him to the ground.
After the goal was overturned, Guardiola, the manager of City, lost it.
Then, as a cynical attempt to get the Liverpool fans behind him to boo him more, Guardiola was spotted reacting to them by waving his hands in the air.
After appearing to be upset at an incident involving Salah and Bernardo Silva in the second half, Jurgen Klopp, manager of Liverpool, was dismissed by referee Taylor for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Liverpool’s upcoming match against West Ham United on Wednesday is likely to be missed by Klopp.
