Richard Keys accuses Pep Guardiola of 'doing it all for the cameras' over animated exchange with Jack Grealish

Richard Keys made his feelings clear on Pep Guardiola after the Spaniard was spotted in an animated discussion with Jack Grealish following Manchester City's 0-0 draw with Arsenal.

City were unable to break through a stoic defensive effort from Mikel Arteta's side, managing just one shot on target despite having 72 per cent of the ball at the Etihad Stadium.

Arsenal, though, did have chances of their own, with Leandro Trossard testing Stefan Ortega late on.

But they too only had two shots on target, with the 0-0 scoreline being of bigger benefit to league leaders Liverpool, who retook the lead and went two points clear, than either Arsenal or City in second and third.

Guardiola clearly wasn't happy at full-time, and went over to Grealish, who replaced Mateo Kovacic on the hour mark.

The cameras didn't pick up what was said between the pair, but the Spaniard made a series of gestures towards the City winger before patting him on the head.

While the Spaniard has done similar to a number of his players immediately after full-time, beIN Sports anchor Keys didn't like what he was seeing.

He exclaimed: "Leave it for the dressing room!

"It's all for the cameras, isn't it? It's so tiresome. Go down the tunnel, it shouldn't even be on the pitch.

"Now he's got to go and tell everyone else what they did wrong, of course."

Following his exchange with Grealish, Guardiola then had to seemingly break up an argument between Gabriel Magalhaes and Erling Haaland, who had a fierce battle throughout the 90 minutes.

But Grealish wasn't the only one that Guardiola was giving some tactical advice to, with Jeremy Doku also on the end of an on-pitch lesson from his manager.

In August, the Spaniard also had an exchange with Erling Haaland at half-time during City's Premier League season opener against Burnley.

After the game, Guardiola revealed that he was giving tactical advice: "He wants all the time, ball to him, ball to him. He wants the ball in behind.

"Erling wanted the ball and Bernardo [Silva] was right not to give it to him. He scored two goals. I think he's happy."
