What Pep Guardiola said to Nathan Redmond following 96th minute Manchester City’s victory over Southampton

Pep Guardiola was involved in a furious-looking full-time altercation with Nathan Redmond following Manchester City’s dramatic win over Southampton on Wednesday night.

Raheem Sterling scored a 96th minute winner as the hosts won the clash 2-1.

Following the final whistle, Guardiola stormed over to Redmond, proceeded to shout at the Saints star, wrapped his arm around his neck and put his hands on his chest.

The Spaniard was visibly agitated by the 23-year-old. And just as the City boss was walking away he turned round to say something else to the England winger.

Redmond uttered some words back under his hands and remained calm throughout.

During his post-match interview, Guardiola claimed he was telling Redmond that he was wasting time from the ninth minute.

Guardiola told Match of the Day: “I was telling Nathan Redmond how good he is at the end. Southampton have some super talented players, Redmond is so good one against one.

“But they didn’t’ want to play, they were time wasting from the ninth minute. I just wanted them to play.”
