Most people turned to congratulate Chelsea for the fascinating game, but indeed Manchester City has a few advantages over key decisions. The most apparent controversies were the soft penalty awarded again, and no foul for the handball. Sadly if the standard of refereeing is normal, Chelsea should deserve a win.

    I honestly hate the trend of where if public opinion states that one team got the rub of the green from the refs in a match their fans come out and try and sensationalise literally any decision that could possibly have gone against them to ‘both sides’ it.

    Sterling’s was never a red, yellow all day long and he was booked for it. Cucurella was dodging a bad tackle and literally didn’t even appeal for a free kick. Caicedo committed a whopping 3 fouls in the entire match etc.

    Don’t get me wrong people banging on about conspiracies is dumb, but City in this match did get the rub of the green, and I can see why people are funny about them considering the financial fuckery on top of referees going off to the middle east to get paid on the side.
