FURIOUS Pep Guardiola KARATE-KICKED a chair after his Manchester City team lost their heads over a stunning Arsenal equaliser.
Riccardo Calafiori's long-range swerver cancelled out Erling Haaland's opener in Sunday's astonishing, action-packed Premier League clash.
City were caught cold by a quick free-kick, with Calafiori eventually sweeping a first-time left-footer into the far top corner.
Home stars raced over to referee Michael Oliver - seemingly unhappy that the Gunners had been allowed to take the dead-ball so swiftly.
But while Oliver shrugged off on-field complaints, City's dug-out staff appeared, if anything, even angrier with events.
However, it was unclear if Guardiola's rage was directed at Oliver - or, very probably, his own players for being mugged by Arsenal's smart dead-ball play.
The Spaniard gestured wildly to his backroom team.
And no doubt there will be a huge inquest into the incident - among with many others amid an extraordinary game.
The contest had begun bizarrely and worryingly for City.
Rodri tumbled over within EIGHT SECONDS, forcing a long delay for treatment, with the midfielder then being substituted on 20 minutes.
But City were initially in ominous form after that, Haaland striding clear to finish with a low left-footer full of swagger in just the ninth minute.
So when Gabriel Martinelli teed up Calafiori for a sublime but surprise equaliser 13 minutes later, Guardiola had plenty of reasons to be fuming.
It sparked the Gunners' best spell of the game - peaking with Gabriel Magalhaes soaring to head them 2-1 up in first-half stoppage time from Bukayo Saya's backpost corner.
However, still before the break, Arsenal's Leandro Trossard then picked up a controversial red card, via a soft second booking.
Arsenal put on an incredible defensive display in the second half but couldn't get to the full-time whistle.
John Stones popped up with a 98th minute equaliser with the match ending 2-2.
