Rodri blasts referees for apparent bias against Manchester City after draw with Tottenham

Manchester City midfielder Rodri urged referees to remain impartial during an angry outburst following a 2-2 draw at Tottenham that hampered their Premier League title challenge.

City appeared set for a comfortable win in north London leading 2-0 on Sunday but the game turned when Dominic Solankes goal was permitted to stand even though the forward seemed to foul Marc Guehi prior to touching the ball.

Solanke then scored an impressive scorpion kick to level the scores leaving City six points behind Arsenal at the top.

I realise we have triumphed too often and some do not wish us success but referees must stay neutral and frankly it feels unfair Rodri said to Australian outlet Stan Sport.

In the end with everything over we feel let down because the foul was obvious He struck the leg and naturally with the follow through the ball entered the net.

We must focus on such minor incidents or it will prove challenging for all since this competition hinges on fine margins and every moment matters so today was particularly hard for us in that regard.

This disputed ruling marked the most recent instance where City believe calls have favoured opponents in the past few weeks.

Pep Guardiola stated last week that the teams achievements in his successful period occurred despite repeated unfavourable decisions.

Its game after game and it cannot continue Rodri added.

He got ahead of Marcs leg and it was a blatant foul but its not just this match Its happened in two or three consecutive games and I truly do not understand why.
