Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola's strong censure of his player Jack Grealish after the match raised the astonishment and condemnation of fans and analysts. Video clips showed Guardiola giving advice on what he should have done to avoid the mistakes he made.

The cameras did not capture what was said between the duo, but the Spaniard made a series of gestures towards the City winger, before patting him on the head. City was unable to penetrate the wonderful defensive effort of Mikel Arteta's team, as it managed only one shot on goal.
