The City -Forest game turned out to be a bit of a card festival with referee Anthony Taylor handing out 10 yellow cards and one red. Guardiola was one of the recepients of one of those yellow cards.This is the same Anthony Taylor that Mourinho had problems with during the Europa Cup final.

Rodri saw red for grabbing Morgan Gibbs-White around the throat at the start of the second half. He will miss crucially the crucial game against Arsenal on 8th October.City held on with 10 men and won the game 2-0

Pep is not very happy about the turn of events.

“This is what he has to do. I can get a yellow card, but Rodri cannot get a yellow card, I do not play.The guys inside have to be careful. I cannot control myself, but I do not play. Soon I will be in the stands because I will get enough yellow cards.”
