Watch: Pep Guardiola in extraordinary rant at his own goalkeeper

Striding onto the pitch at full-time, Guardiola lurched into an impassioned exchange with Ortega. Grabbing the goalkeeper's shirt with both hands, and then pulling him into a bear hug around his neck, the City manager appeared to scream at his player before thumping him in the chest. He went on to give special praise to Ortega in his post-match press conference.

Guardiola said: '[It was about] how good he played. He played an incredible game. We were talking [about] one action, the same with Ortega. How good he played, his actions with the ball, how good he passed to Erling [Haaland]...especially with these two players for what they have done.'

Foden admitted his team could not handle the 'physicality' of Brentford in the final moments of the match. 'We looked leggy and they put the pressure on and put longer balls into the box,' said Foden.
