The Premier League have reportedly confirmed that Manchester City wrongly escaped a penalty concession in what turned out to be a 3–3 draw with Everton which has kept the club’s title charge behind Arsenal alive.
Manchester City captain Bernardo Silva took a hands-on approach to marking his opposite midfielder Merlin Röhl at an Everton corner in the 85th minute of the league clash at the Hill Dickinson Stadium earlier this month. Röhl was clearly tugged to the ground but the contact went unnoticed by on-pitch referee Michael Oliver amid the typical set-piece melee.
