Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was spotted having a deep conversation with Adama Traore after the Fulham forward missed some golden opportunity in City's hard-fought 3-2 win over Fulham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening.
Bet Premier League on Bet365The defending champions were a goal behind after Fulham opened the scoring through Andreas Pereira in the 26 minutes with a sublime backheel assist from Raul Jimenez. A brace from Mateo Kovacic saw City retake control at the Etihad, and Jeremy Doku added a third in the 82nd minute. Fulham kept fighting, hoping for a point in the match when Rodrigo Muniz scored six minutes after Jeremy Doku's goal, but the game ended with Manchester City taking all three points in the match.
The talking point of the match was Adama Traore missing two huge chances, including a one-on-one opportunity against Ederson after the Spaniard beat Kyle Walker in a foot race, in which the goalkeeper parried the ball away with ease.
In a viral video at the end of the match, Guardiola was spotted walking over to Traore and could be seen speaking and gesticulating as he conversed with the former Barcelona winger on the pitch.
Many fans argue that the scoreline would have been different had Adama Traore converted one of his numerous chances. One fan reacts, "Maybe he wanted to help the player with advice, or it was just a conversation about the episode where Traore destroyed Walker in a sprint."
