Guardiola Angry with Rodri over Red Card
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said yesterday that he was angry with Rodri for being sent off in his side’s 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest – but also criticised referee Anthony Taylor for his performance.
City held on with 10 men in the second half to win and maintain their 100% startto the Premier League, but Guardiola felt Taylor had lost control of the game before Rodri’s red card.
The Spain midfielder was dismissed for violent conduct after grabbing Morgan Gibbs-White around the throat at the start of the second half, and faces a three-match ban that rules him out of City’s crucial clash at title rivals Arsenal on 8 October.
