Pep Guardiola expressed his frustration with camera operators again as he looked to celebrate Manchester City's victory over Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Man City secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory at the City Ground in the lunchtime kick-off with Rayan Cherki staring.

Cherki provided an assist for Tijjani Reijnders' opener in the second half and scored a superb late winner for City, after Omari Hutchinson had brought Forest level.

Guardiola sought to celebrate a battling victory with the travelling Man City fans at the final whistle.

Footage showed Guardiola turning towards the supporters and begin clapping, only for a camera operator to move into his path.

Guardiola was then seen visibly raising his arm in frustration before staring down the camera.

The Spaniard then gestured in an exaggerated fashion for the camera operator to move to one side, a request that was followed.

Guardiola then proceeded to move closer to the Man City fans and applauded their support after a crucial victory.

The result had briefly seen Man City move to the top of the table, before Arsenal regained top spot by beating Brighton 2-1 later in the afternoon.

It is not the first time Guardiola has clashed with camera operators this season.

Guardiola had a heated exchange with a cameraman after Man City were beaten by Newcastle last month.

He had been seen pulling up the man’s headset to communicate his displeasure.

Guardiola later admitted he was 'embarrassed' by the incident and had apologised.

‘I apologised,’ Guardiola said after the incident. ‘I feel embarrassed, ashamed when I see it. I don’t like it. I apologised after one second to the cameraman.

‘I am who I am. After 1,000 games I’m not a perfect person, I make huge mistakes.'
