Fans have all noticed the same thing after Pep Guardiola decided to take off Ilkay Gundogan during Manchester City’s match against Leeds United on Saturday afternoon.
City were looking to extend their lead at the summit of the Premier League as they lined up against Sam Allardyce's Leeds at the Etihad Stadium.
As expected, City controlled the proceedings from the get-go as they dominated possession.

Seven minutes later, City were 2-0 as Gundogan gets his second goal of the match after again combining with Mahrez.
In the second half, City were given a golden chance to make it 3-0 after Phil Foden was fouled inside the 18-yard box.
Erling Haaland appeared to hand the ball to Gundogan who ended up missing the penalty.

City boss Guardiola was visibly angry as he was captured saying “Erling, you have to take it.” towards Haaland straight after the incident.
Moments later, Rodrigo scored for Leeds to make it a nervy finish to the match.

However, as he walked off the pitch, there was no handshake between the player and the manager, which has got fans talking on social media.
One said: “Pep refused to shake Gundogan because he took and miss that penalty?”
