Pep Guardiola refused to be drawn into a debate on referees after Manchester City's 3-3 draw with Newcastle United on Sunday, although he did admit that in real time he thought Kieran Trippier deserved a red card for a foul on Kevin De Bruyne.
City and their hosts played out a thriller at a raucous St James' Park, with City fighting back from 3-1 down to earn a point thanks to second-half goals from Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva.
The match was a breathless end-to-end contest which provided a great advert for Premier League football, but there was a moment in the second period when things threatened to get ugly.
