During Manchester City’s 3-1 home defeat against Chelsea on Saturday, Pep Guardiola lost the plot. He was seen sarcastically applauding and cheering a decision made by Anthony Taylor.

On Friday, Jose Mourinho accepted the punishments that he has been given this season

I would like to think it would be the same rules for everybody. Let us go back to the last one. I kicked a bottle of water. I cannot do it and, if I do it, it is a sending-off and a punishment. I accept that and, if you see the images when the referee (Jonathan Moss) comes over, I go with not a word or a complaint. I accepted the one-match suspension. It is as simple as that but it has to be same for everyone.

It’s hard to imagine that Mourinho would be allowed to behave like Guardiola did on Saturday without facing any punishment.
