Khaberni - Spanish midfielder Rodri from Manchester City expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the refereeing decisions following his team's draw against Tottenham, with two goals each, on Sunday in the Premier League, emphasizing that the referees should be "neutral" in their decisions.
The match was highly exciting after Manchester City took the lead with two goals in the first half, scored by Ryan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo, and the team was on its way to reducing the gap with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League to just four points. However, Tottenham managed to come back thanks to a double from Dominic Solanke. The moment of Solanke's first goal in the 53rd minute sparked anger from Rodri and manager Pep Guardiola, as it appeared that the striker kicked City defender Marc Guehi from behind before scoring, and despite the video review of the incident, the intervention was considered natural and not worthy of a foul.
Rodri told the Australian network "Stan Sport" that Manchester City has suffered from adverse video technology decisions in previous matches during January against Newcastle United, Manchester United, and Wolverhampton.
He added: I know that we have won a lot of titles and people do not want us to win again, but the referee must be neutral and honestly, what is happening is not fair.
The Spanish player explained that the hard work the team puts in is wasted because of such small details that make a difference in a league that depends on precise details, emphasizing that the fault was very clear in the goal scene where Solanke kicked Guehi's leg, causing the ball to enter the goal.
