Manchester City are one of the winners of Matchday 5 of the Premier League.

Coach Pep Guardiola stinks that after the final whistle there was almost only talk about a less sporty scene.

  • One goal was enough for Manchester City to win over Arsenal at home.

  • Sergio Agüero became the involuntary leading actor - because of a thoughtless gesture.

  • Coach Pep Guardiola also comments on the hotly debated scene.

Manchester / Munich - The Merseyside derby outshone

everything

in the

Premier League *

this weekend.

Although the

Everton FC

and the reigning champions *

Liverpool FC

split

2-2 and thus without a winner, the emotional game had a lot to offer for discussion.

One of the beneficiaries of the division of points was

Manchester City

, which

triumphed

1-0 over

Arsenal

in the actual top game of the 5th round

, while

Chelsea

did not win despite two goals from Timo Werner and a goal from Kai Havertz *.

Raheem Sterling

scored the goal of the day in the duel between the two "Big Six" clubs

after just 23 minutes.

But much more is being debated in England afterwards about a scene from the 42nd minute of the game.

Crime scene: Outline.

Leading actors:

Sergio "Kun" Agüero

and Sian Massey-Ellis.

Liverpool team manager Klopp was upset about the VAR - in the video

Agüero and the assistant referee: Argentine owes a throw-in and gets upset

The latter,

an assistant referee

, decided after a ball that had flown out near the corner flag to throw in the "Gunners", which the Argentine in the service of ManCity did not really like.

Arsenal's Gabriel had shot the

attacking attacker skillfully

to give his team the standard.

Still, Aguero argued briefly by

pointing out

their

supposed mistake

to Massey-Ellis

and pointing to the line.

But the assistant referee was not in the mood for an

already hopeless discussion

and simply left the 32-year-old.

Agüero and the assistant referee: Suddenly the hand lands on the shoulder

Then Aguero followed her and put his

arm

briefly

on

Massey-Ellis'

shoulder

to draw her attention again.

And whoosh, the soccer motherland had its

excitement scene

.

Especially since the assistant referee found the gesture anything but gentleman-like and

brusquely

wiped her

hand away

.

Since then,

arguments from both camps have been

exchanged

on Twitter

.

So some observers wanted to interpret a sexist scene into it.

Others simply recognize familiar

emotions during a close game

.

It should be noted that for decades any intentional contact with the referee and his assistants was prevented.

This from Aguero is red card and 3 games ban.



No discussions.



By football law.



An official can't be grabbed, and even worse if it is in this patronizing way.

Agüero and the assistant referee: Guardiola reacts indignantly to demand

And what do the experts say about the situation?

Agüero should have "known better", emphasized his former teammate

Micah Richards

at

Sky Sports

.

City coach

Pep Guardiola

, on the other hand, was unsurprisingly not in the mood for this sporting, absolutely meaningless event to be ridden around.

"Come on guys,

Sergio is the nicest person

I've ever met in my life," the Catalan jumped to his player at the press conference after the game: "Look for

other problems in other situations

, not this one."

In addition to the three points, Agüero himself was particularly happy about an otherwise successful comeback after a four-month

forced break due to a knee injury

.

“Great to be back,” tweeted

Diego Maradona's former son-in-law

.

On the other hand, he didn't want to say a word about the “scene of the game”.
