The City one was a mistake (and I can admit that as a Spurs fan) but not a wrong decision. It was a foul and it was a booking for Royal because he cynically tried to bring Haaland down to waste time.
He’s obviously got caught in two minds whether to pull it up then or not and has ended up getting it arse about face.
There is absolutely no guarantee Grealish would have scored though so City acting like it was a definite goal was the height of arrogance. Davies and Royal were coming round and Vicario is no slouch in these situations either.
Haaland should have been off with a three game ban for screaming abuse in the referee’s face and continuing to scream and swear at him after. The bloke is an absolute twat and they need to come down on these things.
I think City robbed themselves. The so-called best team in the world couldn’t beat and conceded three at home to what is basically mostly our second string where we didn’t have one senior centre back in the squad.
City will need to look a little closer to home on this one.
The referee has obviously gotten himself completely caught in two minds but there’s absolutely no guarantee Grealish scores at all as Davies and Royal were getting around him and the keeper would have likely rushed out, also.
