Bernardo Silva claims refereeing inconsistency has handed Arsenal a title advantage after Manchester City’s frustrating 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest increased the gap at the top to seven points.
Manchester City captain Bernardo Silva has voiced frustration over officiating following a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest that left his side seven points adrift of Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Silva criticized the decision to deny Erling Haaland a penalty after a collision with goalkeeper Matz Sels. He stated, “I just think that all the 50-50s this season have gone against us – all of them.”
Despite leading twice through Antoine Semenyo and Rodri, City conceded late to Elliot Anderson, further complicating their title defense.
Silva admitted City’s own errors contributed to the gap, acknowledging, “It’s on us that we didn’t win.”
Meanwhile, Forest manager Vitor Pereira urged his squad to remain focused on the present as they battle to stay outside the relegation zone on goal difference.
