Pep Guardiola Reveals What He Said In Angry Exchange With Nathan Redmond

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said he couldn’t control his emotions after jumping on the pitch to celebrate Raheem Sterling’s 96th-minute winner in the victory over Southampton

Pep Guardiola also went further to explain his chat with Nathan Redmond afterward.

Manchester City maintained their eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a 2-1 victory over the Saints and extended their club-record winning streak to 19 games.

Guardiola was also seen having an odd exchange with Southampton winger Redmond after the full-time whistle, gesticulating at the player, but said he was telling him what a good player he was.

“It was a good night, I think all the supporters create some special moments tonight and in the last second we enjoyed the situation,” the City boss told a new conference.

“You have to celebrate it. It was a good moment in the last minute, in the locker room, all the staff so happy it makes sense to enjoy our celebration. It makes sense, our job to enjoy these sort of situations.

“I said [to the referee] I apologise because i couldn’t control it, I was so happy like all the fans and players. I ran after Raz but I’m not quick enough but we were so happy.”

Explaining his comments to Redmond, he added: “I said what good a player he is. Last season he destroyed us here. I didn’t know him last season and didn’t realise how good he is. Today he could not attack because he defends all the time.”
