Pep Guardiola vented his frustration at officiating after a controversial Dominic Solanke goal sparked a Tottenham comeback, leaving Manchester City six points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola was visibly irate after VAR failed to overturn Tottenham’s first goal during City’s 2-2 draw. The City manager claimed Marc Guehi was fouled by Dominic Solanke before the ball crossed the line.
“Marc has the ball, he’s been kicked from behind, and it’s a goal. Nothing. One more,” Guardiola told Sky Sports, suggesting a striker would have received a penalty for similar contact.
The contentious decision allowed Spurs to erase City’s two-goal cushion, severely denting the champions’ title defense.
Despite trailing Arsenal by six points, Guardiola remained defiant about the remaining fourteen fixtures. “We are playing in a high, high level.
Of course we don’t have the consistency to win the games. But 14 games, a lot of points to play for. Onto the next one,” he added.
