Pep Guardiola does an Ange Postecoglou with gesture to his own fans in bizarre scenes after Marmoush goal for Man City

PEP GUARDIOLA made a bizarre gesture to his own fans in a move straight out of the Ange Postecoglou playbook.

The Premier League champions found themselves trailing 2-0 at home to Crystal Palace after goals from Eberechi Eze and Chris Richards.

Kevin De Bruyne pulled one back for City – kickstarting an emphatic 5-2 fightback with Omar Marmoush levelling only minutes later.

It sent the home City fans wild – but manager Guardiola appeared to make a goading gesture to his own supporters.

The Spaniard pointed his finger to his ear and waved his arms up and down to the Etihad faithful – as some fans questioned if it was in reference to boos around the stadium.

Guardiola has been known to gesture to supporters before in a bid to get them going as the 12th man.

But fans online could not help but compare the ex-Barcelona boss to under-fire Tottenham manager Postecoglou.

One said: “Is he Ange in disguise!”

Another added: “Pep thinks he is Ange.”

A third joked: “Pep turning into Ange.”

Postecoglou surprised Spurs fans by replacing Lucas Bergvall with Pape Matar Sarr at Stamford Bridge earlier in the month.

The away contingent responded by chanting: “You don’t know what you’re doing.”

However, Sarr then fizzed a long-ranger into the back of the net.

And Postecoglou reacted by appearing to cup his ears towards his club’s own fans – only for the goal to be chalked off by VAR.

Spurs lost 1-0 and Postecoglou explained: “I want them to be happy – we’ve just scored a cracking goal.

“I wanted them to get really excited. I felt at that time we could potentially go on and win the game.”
