Footage shows Hodgson laughing at furious Guardiola after late Palace equaliser

The reigning champions were edging towards a much-needed run following a run of disappointing results in the Premier League.

However, Palace were awarded a penalty in second-half stoppage-time and Michael Olise scored from the spot to make it 2-2.

Guardiola was visibly enraged in the aftermath and cut a highly animated figure on the touchline as City dropped points once again.

Hodgson would have been delighted with his side's result and couldn't help but notice his counterpart.

Cameras from the game saw Guardiola angry on the touchline, with the Palace boss just looking over and smiling at him.

Speaking after the game, the Man City boss made no excuses, saying: Guardiola said: "It's not bad luck, it's deserved. We gave away two points. When you give away this penalty, you deserve it.

"You see the chances we created and conceded it's quite similar to all this season apart from the game - but we are not able to close the games. That is the feeling.

"At the end, be patient and don't concede transitions and don't concede like we have done in seven or eight years in these type of games.

"But of course in the first action they run and score a goal and in the last minute we give them [a penalty]. In the 18-yard box you have to be careful and we weren't. We don't deserve to win."
