Sky Sports viewers were left in stitches during Manchester City's thrilling match against Tottenham as cameras caught Pep Guardiola channeling his inner Louis van Gaal.
A Hilarious Protest
During the game, which ended in a 2-2 draw, Guardiola couldn't contain his frustration and took a page out of the former Manchester United manager's book by lying on the ground in protest.
Guardiola vs Van Gaal
This comical moment drew comparisons to when Van Gaal famously did the same thing in 2016 to signal a dive. Fans were quick to notice the similarities and took to social media to share their amusement.
A Rollercoaster Match
The match itself was a rollercoaster of emotions, with Son Heung-min opening the scoring for Tottenham, only to later concede an own goal, leveling the match. Phil Foden and Giovani Lo Celso then exchanged goals, with Jack Grealish giving City what seemed like a winning goal, until Dejan Kulusevski's late equalizer.

Controversial Referee Decision
The drama didn't end there, as City had a chance to score in the dying minutes, but referee Simon Hooper brought play back for a free kick. This decision left City striker Erling Haaland fuming, but Guardiola came to his defense, saying that Haaland's reaction was the same as that of ten other players.
It's safe to say that this match provided plenty of entertainment for viewers, both on and off the pitch.
