McTominay had the ball in the back of the net 11 minutes in for Napoli. Alessandro Circati's clearance struck the post, and McTominay turned in the rebound on his second attempt, but it was ruled out for a VAR review for an offside against Paquale Mazzocchi in the build-up. Alessandro Buongiorno then thumped a header straight at Filippo Rinaldo from the edge of the six-yard box, while the goalkeeper also got down smartly to keep out Rasmus Hojlund.

It is obvious and clear that the wrong decision has been made, at least in my opinion. [Robertson] didn't interfere at all with what the goalkeeper could do. Immediately after the game someone showed me the goal that the same referee allowed -- City against Wolves last season. So it took the linesman 13 seconds to raise his flag to say it was offside. So there was clearly communication, but as I said that could have influenced the game in a positive way for us.
