Kevin De Bruyne was furious with team-mate Sergio Aguero during Manchester City's Premier League victory over Crystal Palace.
The midfielder was seen at the Argentine during the first half of the game at Selhurst Park on Sunday.
City were leading 1-0 and thanks to an early Raheem Sterling goal and were chasing a second when De Bruyne received the ball on the right flank.
The Belgian fired a low cross into the area towards his colleague who failed to anticipate the pass, leading to the ball trickling out of play for a goal-kick.
De Bruyne was seething after the Premier League's leading marksman failed to read his intentions, bellowing across the field at Aguero.
The 27-year-old threw his arms in the air angrily before Aguero responded with a vacant stare.
Pep Guardiola's men returned to the top of the Premier League table, albeit briefly, with a 3-1 win in south London.
Sterling scored his second midway through the second half but Palace applied some pressure late on when Luka milijovevic's free-kick curled past Ederson.
A swift counter-attack culminated in Gabriel Jesus adding a decisive third goal in stoppage time, returning to the top ahead of Liverpool's home encounter with Chelsea.
