One of the charms of football is the dramatic scenes, with Foden quickly sending the ball into the net after Salah missed an opportunity. However, after looking back at the slow motion, the referee decided that Haaland had fouled first, making the emotions of the players of both teams feel like a roller coaster in just 3 minutes.
In the 50th minute of the game, Salah got a one-handed chance, facing the attacking Edson, Salah chose to push the shot, but was blocked by Ederson.
After the game resumed, Manchester City quickly returned to color. Haaland returned midfield, Bernardo Silva scored, De Bruyne sent a scalpel straight in, Haaland used his speed to burst into the box, and after colliding with Alisson, Foden followed suit and broke through the crotch.
However, while Foden and Haraland were celebrating wildly, Alisson and Thiago revealed to the referee. The reason is that Alisson thought that he had already pressed the ball under him, but he was hit by Harland.
However, legendary striker Sutton pointed out that "Haaland is fast, but Alisson said he has held the ball with both hands." However, I'm not quite sure if he has enough control. ”
After being reminded, the referee returned to the sidelines to watch the slow motion. By this time, Guardiola was already very angry and constantly complained to the referee.
Surprisingly, the referee ultimately found that Haaland had fouled Fabinho during the midfield scramble and ultimately ruled that the goal was invalid. This immediately angered Pep Guardiola, and the Manchester City manager kept signaling to the fans.
However, the referee's decision is not controversial, legendary defender Neville pointed out, "I have to say, I think this is indeed a foul. ”
Sutton also criticized Pep Guardiola's attitude, "He was completely mistaken, it was a foul on Fabinho by Harland. ”
Another fan pointed out the problem, "This is karma!" Because after Ederson blocked Salah's shot, Manchester City should not have gotten the goalball in the first place. ”
