Darwin Nunez pulled back from heated spat with Pep Guardiola after Man City draw with Liverpool
DARWIN NUNEZ and Pep Guardiola were involved in a touchline spat immediately after Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Liverpool.
Seconds after the final whistle was blown at the Etihad, the cameras panned to a furious Nunez, 24, was seen being pulled back by Reds manager Jurgen Klopp following an altercation with Man City boss Guardiola, 52.
The full extent of the spat was then shared on social media as Nunez and Guardiola shook hands, before the Liverpool striker appeared to have a few words for the Spaniard.
Klopp was quick to pull his man away from the heated exchange.
But a perplexed Guardiola responded in an animated manner as the pair continued to trade words in a fiery scene.
Sky Sports commentator Peter Drury reacted to the incident as it was happened, saying: "There are apparently some unpleasant words being exchanged.

"Darwin Nunez involved in a spiky exchange with Pep Guardiola. They needed separation."
As Guardiola argued with some of the Liverpool backroom staff, Drury then added: "Guardiola seeking to rationalise the situation."
Nunez cut a frustrated figure at the end of the game after he missed a couple of good chances.
Erling Haaland gave Man City the lead in the first half with his 50th Premier League goal.
In doing so, he became the fastest player to reach the milestone in the competition's history, with the Norwegian achieving the feat in just 48 matches - 17 quicker than anyone else.
