‘If Arteta did this…’ – Fans destroy Pep Guardiola outburst as footage analysed from Man City 2-1 win v Luton
Fans have berated Man City boss Pep Guardiola for getting “rattled” with fourth official Craig Pawson at halftime of his 2-1 victory against Luton Town.
The Spaniard successfully navigated a shock defeat after the Hatters took a 1-0 lead on the stroke of halftime thanks to Elijah Adebayo’s headed effort.
A three-minute goalscoring blitz from the Citizens saw them regain the lead through Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish to save Guardiola’s blushes and prevent a fifth consecutive Premier League game without a win.
However, his heated exchange with Pawson, which was seemingly sparked by Luton’s goal coming after the two minutes stoppage time, caught the attention of fans.
They have taken to social media to criticise the treble-winning boss, and some are wondering if he will receive any sort of sanction for his outburst.
This fan slammed Guardiola as a “crybaby” and urged him to just get into the dressing room rather than hound the officials.
One fan claimed that Guardiola, considering Man City’s 115 charges, had what was coming to him.
One supporter feels the boss is still to get over Aston Villa’s 1-0 humbling of his side on Wednesday (6 December).
Another simply loved seeing his furious interaction with Pawson.
This fan simply dubbed the 52-year-old as “rattled”.
This fan wondered what type of response would be seen if Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta acted this way.
One supporter wondered when the Man City manager would face a ban.
This fan likened Guardiola to Arteta and has little sympathy for him considering the fast sums he’s spent on transfers in Manchester.
