Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola explains time-wasting was the reason behind bizarre clash with Nathan Redmond after Southampton victory: 'I just wanted them to play'

Pep Guardiola was involved in a bizarre confrontation with Nathan Redmond on Wednesday night after Manchester City snatched an injury-time winner to beat Southampton at the Etihad.

Guardiola apologised to referee Paul Tierney for his manic goal celebration when Raheem Sterling scored another sensational late winner to keep City eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.

But the animated City boss then became embroiled in a heated exchange with Saints winger Redmond as the two teams left the field, grabbing him around the neck and pushing him in the chest.
