Manager Pep Guardiola defends Man City players after a night out: 

Video on social media showing Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez and Kyle Walker outside a venue in Manchester.

"The tape didn't show precisely what happened - dinner together, sober, enjoying time with their friends and some of the backroom team," stated Guardiola.

"But they will be fined because they didn't ask me!"

In December, Grealish, and City team-mate, Phil Foden was alerted by Guardiola over their behavior after they were pictured on a night out after City's 7-0 home victory over Leeds United.

However, the City boss did not have a problem with his players going out on this event.

"The players know there is a danger when they go out today because of social media, but all of them - Riyad, Kyle, Ally (Marland, staff), Jack were ideal," added Guardiola.

Questioned if his players get unfairly treated, the City manager stated: "In this case, yes."
