Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini was involved in an angry tunnel exchange with Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard after his side's 1-0 Carling Cup semi-final first-leg defeat.
The pair clashed twice with Gerrard annoyed at Mancini's response to a Glen Johnson tackle on Joleon Lescott.
Mancini criticised the two-footed tackle by Liverpool defender Johnson that was similar to Vincent Kompany's challenge on Nani in the 3-2 defeat by Manchester United.
Before the match Mancini had voiced his displeasure at Kompany's four-match ban.
Steven Gerrard rejected Mancini's criticisms and compared the incident to when Mancini had insisted Wayne Rooney was to blame for Kompany's red card in Sunday's Manchester derby at Etihad Stadium.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish maintained he had not seen the incident.
Is this a red card?

Onekligen of the Most obvious red Cards! If you know the rules it's not even a discussion about it. He should be glad the ref didn't see the challenge...
Our GJ was VERY lucky there. That tackle was worse than Kompany's to be fair. Didn't want to raise this here, but it could be our luck's turning somewhat. In perspective, just think what would have happened if GJ, at that force, had connected with the opposing player's foot. Our player missed out on a straight red.
