Foden believed he had clinched the victory for the reigning Premier League champions by the 78th minute, temporarily lifting his team back into the top four.
However, Wissa equalized just four minutes after the England international secured his second goal.
In the second minute of stoppage time, City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega conceded yet again, this time from a Norgaard header.
Guardiola, at 53 years old, was clearly agitated on the sidelines as cameras captured him kicking a barrier close to the stands of the Gtech Community Stadium.
After the final whistle, the Catalan coach aggressively ran onto the pitch to confront Ortega, 32.
The former Barcelona manager engaged in a heated discussion with the German goalkeeper.
Guardiola was observed expressing his disappointment toward the City keeper while also sharing a moment of warmth with a hug.
The ex-Bayern Munich manager is facing a challenging season, with the Citizens currently sitting in sixth place in the Premier League standings.
