Pep Guardiola bizarrely KISSES the fourth official moments before Gabriel Martinelli rescues late point for Arsenal with stoppage time equaliser against Man City

Pep Guardiola produced one of the strangest touchline moments of the Premier League season at the Emirates.

The Manchester City boss leaned in to kiss fourth official Craig Pawson on the cheek during Sunday's clash with Arsenal. Cameras caught the incident just minutes before his side conceded a stoppage-time equaliser.

City had led since the ninth minute after Erling Haaland rolled a low finish past David Raya at the end of a sweeping counter-attack. Guardiola's men looked on course for a crucial away win when the bizarre touchline exchange unfolded.
