Donnarumma expressed his emotions
Despite significant late pressure, the Cityzens could not break through the resilient Black Cats' defense.
However, Sunderland substitute O’Nien resorted to some dubious tactics.
With mere seconds left on the clock, he seized the ball to prevent the visitors from executing a quick throw-in.
Although he escaped a yellow card from the referee, he was not as fortunate after the whistle when City's Italian goalkeeper confronted him, unleashing a barrage of words on the pitch.
O’Nien, who had just returned from a three-match ban due to a red card received in the 3-0 loss at the Etihad last month, faced off with the towering goalkeeper until teammates, including Erling Haaland, stepped in to separate them.
Pep Guardiola soon arrived on the scene, acting as a peacemaker before sharing a warm embrace with Sunderland captain Granit Xhaka.
