Pep Guardiola fumed at the referee for booking Jeremy Doku for diving during Manchester City's dismal 2-2 draw against Brighton on Saturday.
The Belgian winger jumped over Jan Paul van Hecke during the Seagulls' player's tackle in order to avoid being hit or cleared out during the Citizens's attacking phase.
After Doku fell to the ground, match official Simon Hooper was quick to hand the 22-year-old star a yellow card for diving in a moment which sparked heated debates at City's bench.
Following the final whistle, the Spanish manager approached the referee for an explanation and claimed that Doku could have suffered a severe injury should he not jumped over the Dutch centre back.
