Pep Guardiola ridiculed for being ‘rattled’ by Cheltenham throw-ins vs Man City

Football fans have ridiculed Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola after he was seen remonstrating with the referee during the FA Cup tie with Cheltenham Town.

City survived a scare having gone behind at the League Two club, eventually going on to win 3-1.

Cheltenham’s goal had come following a long throw in from Ben Tozer, with the set pieces proving to be a constant threat.

And as the hosts set up for another throw late on, Guardiola was seen storming down the touchline to remonstrate with referee Stuart Attwell over where it should be taken from.

Fans loved to see the Spaniard getting so worked up by a League Two team, with one writing on social media: “You’ve got to love the FA Cup when a generational manager like Pep Guardiola is using delay tactics to prevent Cheltenham Town from taking a quick long throw.”

While a Cheltenham fan explained: “Man City might go on and win this FA Cup but no team will give them a tougher game than we did tonight.

While one more put: “Pep Guardiola arguing about where a 4th Division team should take a throw in. What a time to be alive.”
