Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola had an unusual exchange with a fan as his side closed out a 1-0 win over Newcastle United.
but failed to add to their lead, with Newcastle managing to stay in the game as the game drew to its conclusion. Guardiola chose not to make any substitutes, something that appeared to agitate some City supporters with TV cameras catching the manager appearing to tell one fan he was welcome to come and take his place on the bench.
Asked about the incident after the game, Guardiola was all smiles as he explained to TNT Sports: "He said to me: 'Make a substitution!' and I said: 'Come. Sit here and do it!' I understand, and I felt a lot for Cole [Palmer], for Rico [Lewis], for Kalvin [Phillips] but the game was in a good tempo, a good rhythm and I didn't see the players were tired.
