You are reading this correctly, they jeered Pep Guardiola. Home fans, that is. Home fans booed the genius, that’s right. Or they, at least, booed Pep’s team, which is just as unforgivable.
Only a few but enough to make themselves heard at the end of a first half which had been wrapped up with two Tottenham Hotspur goals. Dejan Kuluveski scored, Emerson Royal scored and some locals showed their displeasure.
They should have known better. They should have known Pep. They certainly should have been shamefaced very soon after. Three goals in little more than ten second half minutes - and a late beauty - means Manchester City’s title challenge is still alive.
