A visibly furious Rodri launched a stinging tirade against the decisions which went against Manchester City during Sunday’s 2–2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, imploring the referee to be “neutral” while claiming that this perceived injustice will be welcomed because most people “don’t want us to win.”
Rodri’s unusually animated outburst was inspired by Dominic Solanke’s first goal for Spurs which halved City’s two-goal lead. The Spanish midfielder argued that the Tottenham striker got his shot away only by kicking through Marc Guéhi’s leg. Emboldened by the goal, Spurs completed the turnaround to leave City trailing Arsenal by six points at the Premier League summit.
