Mac Allister explained that his Liverpool team-mate Nunez had reacted quickly and rashly to a comment made by Guardiola in the side's <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-liverpool-erling-haaland-julian-alvarez/blt78bfcd96eac85443" target="_blank">prickly affair last weekend</a>. Nunez had <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/watch-man-city-pep-guardiola-liverpool-darwin-nunez-1-1-draw-jurgen-klopp/bltd6b6a5196220ab66" target="_blank">responded angrily and made a movement towards Guardiola</a> before being stopped in his tracks by Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp.

WHAT HAPPENED?

On the incident, Mac Allister <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyyj9pfdPTM" target="_blank">told Clank!</a>: "I don't know if it was a corner or a cross that [Erling] Haaland headed and the ball went past the goal next to the post. Pep turned around and started saying how lucky we are or something like that."Then it goes to the last bit of play, the ball is crossed into the middle and [Luiz] Diaz wants to head it and they save it. So then Darwin tells [Guardiola], 'Now you are the ones who are lucky'."I was laughing too. If I see how serious it is, obviously I wouldn't laugh in that way. But nothing made me laugh a little like how Darwin got angry so quickly."

WHAT MAC ALLISTER SAID

The brief flare up formed a microcosm of the tension that engulfed the clash between City and Liverpool last weekend. Nunez, prone to losing his temper every once in a while, seemed to allow the occasion to get to him and was perhaps lucky he was stopped by Klopp. The emotions in the top-of-the-table clash had threatened to overspill on more than one occasion.
