But Guardiola insists that his side did nothing wrong for the goal, claiming: “Of course I didn’t understand it. Linesman, I don’t know the reason why he did it [disallow the goal].

“But Bernardo isn’t disturbing the position. It was difficult in the first moment. Today in modern football they starve the keeper.

“At the moment what happened [Jose] Sa had the perfect vision. The taker from Phil [Foden] and the header [by John Stones] were magnificent.”
