Pep Guardiola Has To Be Held Back After Heated Touchline Spat With Sergio Aguero

Pep Guardiola appeared to have a huge disagreement with Sergio Aguero when the Argentinian striker was substituted against Tottenham on Saturday afternoon.

The Manchester City manager, who had previously directed anger at the striker for his part in Erik Lamela's first-half goal, put his arm around the player when he stepped off the field.

But Aguero was visibly unhappy after being replaced by Gabriel Jesus in the 65th minute.

The pair exchanged heated words and moments later, Manchester City's assistant manager Mikel Arteta had to split the pair up.

Guardiola continued to try and get his point across to Aguero on the bench as the game went on.

Manchester City thought they'd scored a winner in injury time and Aguero hugged his manager, but VAR ruled out the goal and the game finished 2-2.

Thoughts on the incident?
