Pep Guardiola  was sent to the stands at half-time of  Manchester City's Champions League clash against Liverpool  for his angry protestations over a disallowed goal at the  Etihad Stadium . The City coach ran up to referee Antonio Miguel Mateu Lahoz just after the half-time whistle in the quarter-final second-leg clash had been blown, to make his feeling clears about Leroy Sane's 41st-minute effort being ruled out for offside. Guardiola was seen shouting angrily at the official and gesturing wildly before Antonio Miguel Mateu Lahoz decided to send the City boss to the stands. City, who came into the second leg clash trailing 3-0 from the first leg, had dominated the first half and took a second-minute lead through Gabriel Jesus. Raheem Sterling, who did not start the first leg at Anfield, played a major role in the opener after he forced Virgil van Dijk into conceding possession near the touchline.

Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino were familiar heroes as Liverpool reached the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in a decade with a 2-1 second-leg win at Manchester City that sealed a 5-1 aggregate victory.  Gabriel Jesus had stirred hopes of an improbable comeback when he struck inside two minutes but a dominant first-half display in which Bernardo Silva hit the post and Leroy Sane saw a goal wrongly disallowed failed to yield further reward. Jurgen Klopp's side, who stunned the Premier League champions-elect with a 3-0 win at a frenzied Anfield, knew an away goal would make City's task tougher still, and after Salah delivered the demoralising punch (56), Firmino added further insult (77) as the hosts ran out of steam.

Spitting Ander Herrera is a Manchester United fan favourite, and during the Manchester derby, where of course Manchester United performed an amazing comeback and saw off Manchester City in the second half three goals to two, the player seemed to spit on the Manchester City crest as he was walking down the tunnel. Herrera spits on the ground, and while he may not have clocked the massive City badge on the floor, it was certainly quite to coincidence that his spit managed to hit the crest – and of course United fans loved it. Ander Herrera seems to spit while walking down the tunnel at the Etihad during the Manchester derby and it hits the Man City badge. Statement By winning the game and coming back from three goals down, United certainly made a huge statement and while City might secure the title and finish a long way ahead of United, Mourinho’s men have a small bit of pride back and showed that City can be beaten – and that they can go out and attack sides.
