"There's one in the first half with Phil, I feel like they were saying it was very clear. Out of all the decisions, it's the second goal. I think we need to make it make sense, because where's the sense in their player pushing our goalkeeper outside the goal? What are we allowing, and for how long? Sometimes you allow it, sometimes you don't. Where's the rule? What can you actually do?"
"Gigio is in his place, he's being pushed out, and there's no consequence. It's allowed. I had the chance to see it back, I didn't even realise it on the pitch. I found it weird that he was out of position, so we immediately knew something was wrong. But I managed to see the review and it's Barnes pushing him away from the goal. We're so picky with certain contacts, but one like this"
Manchester City lost 2-1 at Newcastle after Harvey Barnes scored twice in the second half. Ruben Dias scored City's only goal, his first Premier League strike since December 2021 after 106 league appearances without a goal. City had penalty appeals for Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku rejected. VAR reviewed Barnes' late winner for two possible offsides and a potential foul on goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, and the goal was allowed. Dias criticized the decision, arguing Barnes pushed the goalkeeper and calling for consistent rules and clearer consequences for goalkeeper contacts. The defeat cost City a chance to close on league leaders Arsenal.
