Pep Guardiola loses it with his own player and boots stand as difficult week gets worse following news of marriage split
FURIOUS Pep Guardiola cut a very frustrated figure and got immenseley animated after another poor result for Manchester CIty.
City wasted a two-goal lead at Brentford as Yoane Wissa and Christian Norgaard cancelled out Phil Foden’s brace late into the second half.

However, Wissa put the Bees back in the game just four minutes after the England international completed his double.
And City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega was beaten again in the second minute of stoppage time by a Norgaard header.
Guardiola, 53, was absolutely livid in the touchline as the camera caught him kicking a barricade near the stands of the Gtech Community Stadium.
And after the final whistle, the Catalan giant entered the pitch and confronted Ortega, 32.
The ex-Barcelona boss had a very intense conversation with the German shot stopper.
Guardiola was seen lashing out at the City keeper in what appeared to be some heavy tough love as he also hugged him at the same time.
The ex-Bayern Munich boss has been enduring a very turbulent campaign that has seen the Citizens dropping down to sixth place in the Premier League table.
