'It's a red card' – Guardiola accepts Delph sending off after Man City's FA Cup exit

The 28-year-old's red card in a shock 1-0 defeat at Wigan seemed to enrage the manager, but the Catalan was accepting afterward

Pep Guardiola had no complaints over Fabian Delph's red card after Manchester City crashed out of the FA Cup with a 1-0 defeat to Wigan Athletic.

Will Grigg's 79th-minute goal gave Paul Cook's League One side a remarkable upset triumph, ending City's hopes of an unprecedented quadruple in the process.

Guardiola was involved in a heated exchange with Cook as tempers also boiled over on the field following Delph's rash lunge on Latics midfielder Max Power during first-half stoppage time.
