Pep Guardiola has warned that Rodri must ‘control himself and his emotions’ after being sent off against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

City were 2-0 up at the Etihad when Rodri was given his marching orders after a clash with Morgan Gibbs-White at the start of the second half.

He will now serve a three-game suspension, which will include missing a crunch-clash with last year’s closest rivals for the title Arsenal.

While Guardiola was proud of his side, he said after the match that his key man still has a way to go to ensure he can control himself on the field.

Man City boss Pep Guardiola has said Rodri need to learn to ‘control himself and his emotions’ 

‘Rodri has to control himself and his emotions,’ Guardiola said. 

‘This is what he has to do. I can get a yellow card but Rodri cannot get a yellow card. I do not play. The guys inside have to be careful.

‘Rodri needs to learn.’ 

Guardiola hailed his ‘exceptional’ Manchester side after they saw the game out and kept a clean sheet as they continued their perfect start to the new season.

They raced into the lead in the opening ten minutes of the game through Phil Foden, before top scorer Erling Haaland added to his tally for the season when he headed in Mathias Nunes’ cross.

The result means City moved five points clear at the top of the table, leading Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool before the trio play their matches on Sunday.

While the first two sides will do battle in a heavily-anticipated north London derby, Liverpool will host West Ham as they look to keep up their unbeaten run that extends back to April.

‘An exceptional game in the first half,’ he added. ‘Exceptional game in the second for our resilience and our work because we played, I would say, 51/52minutes ten against eleven so it was not easy but we were fantastic. 

‘I thought the way we played in the first half was amazing so against a difficult side for the physicality the pace they have up front so yeah, recover for the next one.’
