All was going fine – until they found themselves on the wrong end of a highly contentious refereeing decision. Casemiro pushed a ball through for Marcus Rashford, who ran to the edge of City’s area before leaving the ball for Bruno Fernandes to fire home.
The linesman rightly flagged Rashford offside, before the referee came over and decided that because Rashford hadn’t touched the ball he had not interfered with it – despite commanding all of the attention of the City defenders. Guardiola vented his fury at the fourth official, the players went spare at the on-field ref but the goal stood.
Another journalist comment.
SORE LOSER? ABSOLUTELY
