Manchester City got another win on the board, meaning they're one step closer to lifting the Premier League. The Citizens beat Everton 0-3 with goals from Erling Haaland and an Ilkay Gundogan brace. The Toffees are still in the battle for relegation.
As well as a City win, the game left an interesting image. Pep Guardiola was caught by cameras going to Yerry Mina to have a go at his defending style. It appeared that the Colombian defender decided to play dirty with several 'Sky Blues' players.
"I said to him: 'You're too good to do that type of thing'. It's not necessary", the Catalan manager said in the post-match press conference.
"He knows what he did. Ask him. This isn't physical, nor mental. There are some things which are unnecessary which he does. This time it was with Aymeric (Laporte), Jack (Grealish), with everyone. Ask him. Invite him to the press conferece", he added.
It appears that Mina spoke to and argued with City players in an unethical way. In fact, he has been accused of pinching Spanish international Laporte at a corner to try and stop him.
