Pep Guardiola was spotted having an intense conversation with Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega after their side fell behind by two points late against Brentford.
Ortega had just let in two goals from Yoane Wissa and Christian Norgaard, the latter in the 92nd minute, and was the target of a diatribe from his head coach.
Guardiola repeatedly shouted in his goalkeeper's face before wrapping his arms around him in a warm embrace, grabbing his arms as if to reassure the German keeper.
Ortega and City's night could have been much worse had it not been for Nathan Ake's goal-line clearance moments before the final whistle, with Phil Foden's brace canceled out in another disappointing night for Guardiola's side .
