"I know we won too much and the people don't want us to win but the referee has to be neutral. For me, it's not fair because we work so hard When everything is finished, you are frustrated."
"It's the first goal they score, maybe [if] they don't score this goal we win the game. It's one game and another game and another game and it's not possible. Honestly, I never speak about referees, I respect their job massively. But they have to pay attention to these things. He kicked the leg, it's so clear It's two, three games in a row and I don't know why."
Manchester City voiced frustration over refereeing neutrality after a Tottenham goal by Dominic Solanke — which appeared to strike Marc Guehi's leg — was allowed to stand. Solanke later scored a volley to earn Spurs a 2-2 draw, leaving City six points behind Arsenal. Guardiola considered the Solanke goal a foul, and the complaints follow other contentious rulings: an Antoine Semenyo goal ruled out at Newcastle, Diogo Dalot avoiding a red for a studs-up foul on Jeremy Doku, and a denied handball penalty against Wolves. Players expressed growing frustration at a pattern of decisions perceived as unfavorable.
