Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has taken back his claims referring to Sadio Mane as a diver, days before his side take on Liverpool at Anfield.
The City boss previously mentioned that the Senegal international had been guilty of diving following his booking at Aston Villa on the weekend, where the forward went on to score the winning header in their 2-1 victory over Dean Smith’s side.
However, Guardiola has now gone back on his comments, stating that Liverpool’s last-minute goal against Leicester last month was indeed lawful, after the forward was fouled inside the box and the resulting penalty was scored.
