Rodri makes confession about big decision that cost Everton and Liverpool

Rodri has admitted he handled the ball in his own penalty area against Everton back in February, with the decision going on to help decide the outcome of the Premier League title-race in Man City’s favour.

Pep Guardiola’s side were three points clear of second-placed Liverpool ahead of kick-off, while Everton were just a point above the relegation zone as Frank Lampard’s side hosted the would-be champions at Goodison Park.

Phil Foden had fired City in front late on in the 82nd minute, only for the Blues to be denied the opportunity to equalise moments later when Rodri clearly handled inside the box yet Everton were not awarded a penalty after a VAR review.
