Kevin De Bruyne and Pep Guardiola were caught in a lively exchange after the midfielder was substituted in the second half of Manchester City’s draw against Liverpool.

The 32-year-old had an unusually quiet evening at Anfield, with the defending champions under intense pressure from Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Guardiola chose to change things after the hour and the Belgian seemed not to be very satisfied with something that had happened.

City had taken the lead in the first half with good work from a corner kick, taken by De Bruyne and finished off by John Stones.

However, the home team gave their best, enjoying several chances before equalizing from the spot after Ederson fouled Darwin Núñez.

City’s move came after another period of dominance for the Reds, with Guardiola deciding to bring in Jeremy Doku and Mateo Kovacic for the Belgian and Julián Álvarez.

De Bruyne continued his protests even after sitting on the City bench, forcing his manager to attempt further appeasement.

The exciting contest ended in a stalemate as neither side could find the elusive winner despite opportunities on both sides.

The result means Arsenal remain top of the Premier League after their win against Brentford on Saturday. The first three sides are separated by only one point.
