Watch Pep Guardiola panic as Man City boss wellies water bottle in frustration… and it hits someone on Leeds bench
MANCHESTER CITY made the perfect return to Prem action against Leeds – but Pep Guardiola was left red-faced at Elland Road.
Rodri’s strike in first half stoppage-time strike and Erling Haaland‘s brace secured three crucial points for the reigning champions.
Not even Pascal Struijk’s goal could overshadow City‘s evening.
But moments after Leeds‘ consolation, Guardiola showed his anger by kicking a water bottle on the touchline after City failed to restore their three-goal lead straight away.
Unfortunately for the Spaniard, the bottle appeared to hit someone on the Leeds bench.
He reacted by putting his head into his hands and then rushing over to apologise.
And fans have been reacting to the hilarious moment on social media.
One said: “That’s an interesting take on ensuring the Leeds bench stay hydrated…”
Another chimed in with: “Oh dear who did he hit?! .”
A third added: “He can’t leave this league man .”

Overall though, Guardiola would have surely been content with what he saw after City comfortably ran out 3-1 winners.
His side mustered up 26 shots on goal and dominated the possession stats 69%-31%.
Guardiola and City will be hoping to continue hunting down Arsenal when they host Everton on New Year’s Eve.
