FA Warn Manchester City Boss Pep Guardiola After Side's 2-1 Win Over Liverpool

The Football Association has warned Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola about his behaviour during his side's 2-1 win over Liverpool on Thursday night.

After feeling aggrieved referee Anthony Taylor had not awarded City a free kick, Guardiola threw his scarf to the ground and shouted at fourth official Martin Atkinson in protest.

The FA's warning, as reported by BBC Sport, is Guardiola's first, with the misconduct guidelines outlining that an accumulation of four such warnings will result in a touchline ban.

The 'stage one' warning for his behaviour is the only repercussion Guardiola will face for his conduct during the game, with League One side Peterborough United's boss Steve Bans the only manager to have received a touchline ban so far this season.
