Guardiola seemed to have lost his cool temporarily during a frustrating moment in the game. To vent out his emotions, he kicked a water bottle. However, as soon as he realised that the battle had actually flown towards the Leeds United bench and hit one of the staff members, he rushed to apologise to the individual.

City thrash Leeds 3-1
Talking about the match, City handed a 3-1 defeat to Leeds United. While Rodri opened the scoring for Guardiola's men in the injury time of the first half, Erling Haaland's second-half brace sealed the deal for the Cityzens who are placed number 2 on the points table which is currently being led by Arsenal.
Pascal Struijk then netted a goal for Leeds in the 73rd minute of the match but that proved to be a consolatory strike as the Leeds could not find any more goals.
