Guardiola sent off at half-time as tempers boil over in Man City-Liverpool

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will watch the second half of the Champions League clash with Liverpool from the stands after being sent off following a clash with match officials.

Having lost the first leg 3-0 at Anfield, City came out for the return match loaded with attacking options and immediately put the Reds on the back foot.

Gabriel Jesus cut the deficit to two with a second minute strike, while Bernardo crashed a shot against the post as the hosts went all out for victory.

Pep, however, took apparent exception to some of the calls made by referee Antonio Miguel Mateu Lahoz, and at the half-time mark held a furious exchange with the official.
