Pep Guardiola and Darwin Nunez in heated exchange after Man City vs Liverpool FC

The Liverpool striker had to be pulled away from the argument with the Manchester City manager by Jurgen Klopp at the final whistle

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez appeared to get into a heated argument as the final whistle blew for their fixture at the Etihad Stadium.

Reds’ manager Jurgen Klopp could be seen pulling Nunez – who had been substituted later on in the Premier League clash – away from the confrontation, and the manager had his hand to Nunez’s mouth at one point. Several coaches from both clubs became involved as they tried to calm the situation down.

It’s not clear what triggered the flashpoint, and the two managers attempted to play down the incident in the post-match press conferences this afternoon.

Guardiola in his post-match comments to Sky didn’t reference the incident, instead saying: “Excellent performance so after eight years, we’re still playing against a top, incredible team and the way we played again was excellent.

We were really, really good in our build-up, it was patient, we allowed ourselves to make the right decision a lot.

“Yes, sometimes we missed the last pass or last shot but we had deflections and typical things so I think it’s a big compliment to the way we work.”

The top two sides in the table played out a tense 1-1 draw. Erling Haaland’s first-half goal saw him break the record for the quickest player to reach 50 Premier League goals, but Trent Alexander-Arnold’s late equaliser saw the spoils shared.

Curtis Woodhouse says one Liverpool player is ‘truly truly awful at defending’

Curtis Woodhouse has slammed Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold for his performance against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

The former Sheffield United midfielder was not impressed at all by the way Alexander-Arnold defended in the Premier League match at the Etihad Stadium.

So, what is being said about Liverpool and England international defender Trent Alexander-Arnold? Let’s take a look.

What’s the story?

Well, former Premier League midfielder Curtis Woodhouse has absolutely ripped into Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The former Sheffield United and Birmingham City player was not impressed with Alexander-Arnold’s defending against Manchester City, as you can see below.

The Premier League match between City and Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon ended in a 1-1 draw.

It was not the most entertaining of matches, and I believe that a draw was the fair outcome between two of the best and strongest teams in England.

Criticism of Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold vs Manchester City harsh

In my opinion, Curtis Woodhouse is being too harsh on Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold for his defensive performance against Manchester City.

We know that Alexander-Arnold is not the best defensively when he plays at right-back. That is partly due to the way Liverpool play and partly because of how the 25-year-old sees the game.

And, against City on Saturday, the England international did not have the best of times against winger Jeremy Doku. The youngster was a problem for the Liverpool defenders throughout his time on the pitch.

However, Doku did not always have his way. Moreover, Alexander-Arnold was a threat to City going forward. The right-back was moving into midfield and was helping build Liverpool’s attacks.

Oh, Alexander-Arnold scored for Liverpool as well. The Englishman had a pass accuracy of 73.7%, took 66 touches, attempted two dribbles, made three tackles, two interceptions and two clearances, and put in four crosses.
