As Pep jumped and fist pumped to the home crowd, he then turned to a disappointed Tsimikas and appeared to ask for a high five.

The Spaniard then excitedly offered a handshake to on-loan midfielder Melo.

The Brazilian shook his hand before Pep then continued his celebrations aimed at the fans.

But it did not go down well with supporters who spotted the incident during the first half of City's 4-1 win.
