76 mins — NO PENALTY Guardiola can have no complaints

Kevin De Bruyne drives into the box, between Oriol Romeu and Mohammed Salisu, and goes down. Referee Simon Hooper decides there was not enough in it to give a penalty and waved play on.

VAR Darren England will have checked, and the first contact, as light as it was, was just outside the box (left). So it could not have been a penalty anyway.

79 mins — NO RED CARD

Stuart Armstrong comes in rashly on Aymeric Laporte with a high foot. Hooper blows for a foul and also gives a yellow card to the Southampton player for a reckless challenge.

VAR would have checked it as a possible red-card offence but decided —and correctly in my view — that the challenge was reckless and therefore worthy of no more than a caution.

The leg is high and Armstrong runs a risk with that, but it is a glancing touch, no more, and I am happy with the verdict.
