Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been slammed after celebrating in the face of Kostas Tsimikas, with Rio Ferdinand bemused as to how the Liverpool substitute didn't retaliate.
Guardiola let his emotions get the better of him when he gleefully celebrated Julian Alvarez's equalling goal in the first half of City's triumphant 4-1 win. Tsimikas, alongside fellow sub Joel Matip, was walking back from his warm-up down the touchline at the Etihad Stadium before Alvarez slotted home to make it 1-1 after a typically slick attack from the hosts.
Delighted with his side's slick move which got them back on level terms, Guardiola bounced around his technical area and got in Tsimikas' face. The Greek defender kept his cool and walked with Matip back to Liverpool's bench before team-mate Arthur Melo received similar treatment from City's jubilant manager, getting a handshake and pat on the head.
