Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has said referees have to deal with players grappling with each other from set-pieces.

Guardiola was being asked about the controversial VAR decision that saw Arsenal beat West Ham 1-0 on Sunday.

Leandro Trossard’s late goal proved to be the winner, but there was late drama after Calum Wilson’s goal was ruled out.

He said: “Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace, and thinking about what we have to do.
