Explaining why he blew his top, after angrily throwing his coat down in the first half, Guardiola said: "When Jeremy Doku dribbles (Kieran) Trippier and goes alone to the box and is being pulled from behind, I'm not asking for a yellow card but it's a foul.

"I will defend my team. I will tell you something - we have all the records in this country, all of them, despite everything. We have the record of the manager with the most yellow cards. I want all records and now I have it.

"Two game ban now and I will go on holidays the next two games.

"Oh my God. Oh my God. There are things after 10 years I cannot understand. Review the action. Of course I’m going to defend Doku and all my teams. They continue to do it."
