Man Cty boss Guardiola tightlipped on clash with Crystal Palace keeper Guaita

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was involved in a heated debate with goalkeeper Vincente Guaita following City's goalless draw with Crystal Palace.

Guaita kept a clean sheet which could prove costly to Guardiola's side come the end of the season.

There was a bizarre confrontation after the final whistle between the goalkeeper and the Man City manager.

After the match, Guardiola did not reveal what the animated exchange was about beyond "congratulating him for an incredible effort and his saves".

Initially, Guardiola gave Guaita a pat on the back, before the goalkeeper seemed to say something which had the manager stop in his tracks.

Guaita continued to put his point across with Guardiola laughing at his Spanish compatriot.

The two then went face-to-face as Guardiola started waving his hands around as he responded to what Guaita was trying to tell him with both men seeming to be very happy.

They eventually did seem to settle their differences as they embraced before heading their separate ways.
