As the clock ticks down to full time with Manchester City beating Liverpool 3-2 at the Etihad, tempers have flared with Fabinho and Rodri facing each other.
The Reds midfielder fouled the Spaniard who didn’t take the challenge very well, leaping off the pitch and grappling with our number 3 before Ilkay Gundogan ran in and shoved him to the ground.
Surprisingly, the former Borussia Dortmund player avoided any cards from the referee, while both Fabinho and Rodri received yellow cards.
There was really nothing to the challenge, but it is the second time during the game that the City midfielder has reacted badly to a tackle on him.
