Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola jokingly accused a reporter of being a Liverpool fan after their 5-0 rout of Newcastle.
City moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League after thrashing Newcastle 5-0 at the Etihad, a statement performance which also saw them add to their advantage in the goal difference column.
While speaking to journalists in his press conference, he even light-heartedly suggested one of them supported Liverpool, before he was corrected.
Guardiola was asked if he was 'ecstatic' with his side's performance and, with a smile on his face, replied: "Did you have doubts? Yes, you are a Liverpool fan. Come on."
He was then told that the reporter was instead a follower of both City and Liverpool's arch rivals, United, an admission that caused several laughs inside the room.
As quick as a flash, Guardiola then simply said: "I'm sorry, James."
