"I know we won too much and the people don't want us to win but the referee has to be neutral and for me honestly, it's not fair. At the end, when everything is finished, we are frustrated because it's so clear the foul. He kicked the leg and of course with the push of the action on the ball, the ball goes in."
"We have to pay attention to these little things otherwise it's going to be difficult for everyone because this league is like this - it's about small details and everything counts, so I think today is a very tough day for us in this sense."
"If a central defender does it to a striker, it's a penalty. The game was well played and sometimes for long balls and second balls you miss it. We would prefer not to have the transition but an emotional issue for the first goal that the referee conceded to Spurs and after that the momentum is difficult to control."
Manchester City drew 2-2 with Tottenham after leading 2-0, with Dominic Solanke’s leveller standing despite an apparent foul on Marc Guehi. Solanke then scored with a remarkable scorpion kick to complete the comeback. Rodri publicly criticised referees, saying officials must be neutral and pointing to a clear foul that changed the game’s momentum. Pep Guardiola also protested the first goal, calling it a foul that would have been a penalty if roles were reversed, and was booked for his protests. The result leaves City trailing leaders Arsenal by six points and frustrated over recent controversial decisions.
