Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he missed the incident involving Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson because he was watching Bayern Munich and The Masters.
The Citizens sit six points behind Arsenal in the race for the Premier League title but they now have a slight advantage going into the final games of the season with a game in hand over the table-toppers.
Liverpool fought back from 2-0 down to salvage a draw with the Gunners thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. The heroics of Aaron Ramsdale and a second penalty miss of the season from the Egyptian saw Jurgen Klopp's side miss the opportunity to complete the turnaround.

Ahead of City's Champions League quarter-final vs Bayern Munich, Guardiola was addressing reporters on another heavyweight clash for the Premier League champions in their attempt to end their European hoodoo.
He was also quizzed on the main talking point from the weekend which has overshadowed the rip-roaring game on Sunday involving Robertson and assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis, with the official appearing to elbow the Reds defender.
"I heard it but I didn't see it," said Guardiola. "I was watching Bayern Munich and golf. I saw highlights but this discussion [Andy Robertson incident], I didn't see it.
"They told me something happened but I didn't see it so I cannot comment but it is weird, if it's happened like the people said to me...'wow, it's happened?' Yes it happened but I don't know what's happened."
Since the flashpoint at the end of the first-half in the 2-2 draw, Hatzidakis will not be appointed to any fixtures following an announcement from the PGMOL as the Football Association investigate the events that unfolded in L4.
