Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has criticised star midfielder Rodri, who was sent off in the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The Citizens extended their winning streak to six matches in the Premier League with the victory, but they had to play the second half with ten men.Rodri was shown a straight red card for grabbing Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White by the neck a minute into the second half.
Guardiola has urged the Spanish midfielder to control his emotions as he is now set to miss the next three league encounters. "Hopefully Rodri will learn. Rodri has to control himself and his emotions," Guardiola told reporters, as per Goal. "This is what he has to do. I can get a yellow card, but Rodri cannot get a yellow card, I do not play. The guys inside have to be careful. I cannot control myself, but I do not play. Soon I will be in the stands because I will get enough yellow cards.""I thought the way we played in the first-half was amazing, against a difficult side for the physicality, the pace they have up front," he added.
"An exceptional game in the first-half. Exceptional game in the second for our resilience and our work because we played 51, 52 minutes 10 vs 11 so it was not easy but we were fantastic."
