De Bruyne seemed dissatisfied with the decision. On his way off the pitch, he grumbled to Guardiola about something. De Bruyne returned to the bench and continued to complain, prompting the Spanish coach to sit next to him to explain and calm the situation.

After the match when asked about De Bruyne’s attitude, Guardiola explained: “That’s good. He has the opportunity to come on the field in the next match to prove me wrong.”

“We need a player who can keep the ball. It’s not about pressing. Kovacic is really good at that. We’re happy with Kevin. No problem. We’re fine.”

John Stones scored in the first half to give Manchester City the lead. Liverpool scored a penalty in the second half to tie the game at 1-1. This result propels Arsenal to the championship lead after round 28.
