During Manchester City’s 1-3 loss to Liverpool on Sunday, the spectators had a field day with City manager Pep Guardiola losing his control over some substandard decisions from the referees at the Anfield.
Things went haywire for Guardiola when City were not awarded a penalty after the ball struck Trent Alexander-Arnold on the arm. After the decision went against his team’s favour, the Spanish manager completely lost his cool on the touchline and raged at the referee.

Guardiola further got furious when another VAR check went against his side after Raheem Sterling went down in the area under pressure from Sadio Mane.
After the end of the match, Guardiola went down to the ground to thank the referees in a sarcastic manner.
