‘Should be a ban’ – Fans fuming as Pep wildy celebrates Man City goal in front of Liverpool stars Tsimikas and Melo
FANS have been left fuming with Pep Guardiola after he celebrated a goal in front of Liverpool’s Arthur Melo and Kostas Tsimikas.
The Manchester City manager went crazy after Julian Alvarez cancelled out Mo Salah’s opener at the Etihad Stadium.
As Pep jumped and fist pumped to the home crowd, he then turned to a disappointed Tsimikas and appeared to ask for a high five.
The Spaniard then excitedly offered a handshake to on-loan midfielder Melo.
The Brazilian shook his hand before Pep then continued his celebrations aimed at the fans.
But it did not go down well with supporters who spotted the incident during the first half of City’s 4-1 win.
One tweeted: “Should be a ban.”
A second commented: “Imagine this being Arteta or Klopp even…. The amount of s**t they would get for it would be unbelievable.”
A third wrote: “Bloke deserves a slap. If this was certain other managers, we wouldn’t hear the end of it.”
A fourth said: “Disrespectful.”

The goal proved to be the catalyst for City as in the second half they powered ahead.
Kevin de Bruyne put his side ahead before İlkay Gündoğan added a third.
Man of the match Jack Grealish rounded off the scoring with a tidy finish as Man City keep the pressure on table toppers Arsenal, who were playing Leeds later.
