Slamming Sterling for showboating, blaming Alexis Sanchez for injuring himself and even castigating his OWN fans for not turning up... Riyad Mahrez and Jack Grealish aren't the first to witness Pep Guardiola losing his cool

His eyes bulged, his face was contorted with rage and his fingers jabbed furiously at the air. Manchester City may have been thrashing RB Leipzig but Pep Guardiola was far from happy.

In the manager's view, Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez hadn't been tracking back enough and fulfilling their defensive responsibilities - and he wasn't going to let the matter lie.

Nobody would describe Guardiola as having a volcanic temper all the time but when a player doesn't meet his high standards he isn't shy of public confrontation.
