Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola played down speculation of a touchline bust-up this weekend.

The Citizens head coach insisted he has no problem with Mauricio Pochettino after their 4-4 draw with Chelsea in the Premier League.

Pochettino appeared to refuse a handshake at the final whistle, as he had been upset at the referee Anthony Taylor.

Post-game, Guardiola told reporters: "No problem. It's not a problem. I don't want to say one word.

It's completely fine. The emotions happen to me sometimes. It's fine."

During his press conference, Pochettino had a similar attitude, as he apologized for ignoring Guardiola and storming off at the final whistle.
