Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola apparently fell out with Jack Grealish after Manchester City’s goalless draw with Arsenal in the Premier League, MySportDab reports.
Despite wielding 72% of the ball possession, it was another subpar delivery for City against the Gunners.
The Premier League and European champions were clueless when breaking into Arsenal’s final third and had no way through the Gunners locked defense.
A commanding spell of possession for the hosts was dwarfed with just a single goal attempt on target as Arsenal refused to give away their stranglehold on the backline.
Meanwhile, despite coming under the Cityzens’ incessant pressure, Arsenal held their nerves maintaining a good balance of attacking and defensive play.

It ended barren after the final whistle with both sides unable to break the goal deadlock.
Pep Guardiola was apparently disenchanted by his team’s underwhelming performance in the game which saw them drop valuable two points at home.
After the final whistle, the Spaniard was seen in viral footage having a heated discussion with Jack Grealish.
The footage suggests Guardiola was not having it with Jack Grealish’s performance. He remonstrated and pointed out apparent errors the England midfielder made which resulted in the deadlock on the left flanks for City.
After his fiery engagement with Grealish, Guardiola could be seen approaching Arsenal defender William Saliba to have a word with the player but was held back by Erling Haaland.
He forcefully wrist himself off the arms of Haaland and still made his way to Saliba to have a word with the player.
It is still unclear what he said to Saliba but there are suggestions he complimented the player for a solid defensive display or confronted him for his strong tackle on Erling Haaland during the game.
