Guardiola commented on the incident after the match at a press conference: "I told him only four minutes? There were six changes, and Gabriel Jesus fell to the ground and lay there for three minutes ... I expected more."
The tie is the second in a row for Manchester City after returning from Manchester United with a goalless draw, but the strange thing is that Guardiola was not able to lead the team to a victory over West Bromwich Albion, who ranked penultimate, to finish sixth with 20 points.
