Rodri expressed Ԁιꜱsatisfaction, believing that there were insufficient VAR reviews in Manchester City’s favor during the game, with Chelsea receiving more attention in that regard. He further indicated that when City undergoes a VAR check, the referee doesn’t dedicate enough time to scrutinize the decision. The Spanish midfielder scored a late goal to equalize after Raheem Sterling, a former City player, had given Chelsea the lead.

Speaking to BBC Match of the Day, Rodri complained: “I don’t want to talk about the referee, but I don’t remember a game with so many VAR checks and none for us, come on man. You always see the face of the referee and it’s now ‘move on, move on’.”

Rodri’s frustration is justified, especially considering the dropped points on a day when both Arsenal and Liverpool emerged victorious. City, more than any other team, understands the significance of every point in the title race. With Arsenal securing a 5-0 away victory against Burnley, the pressure may be mounting on Rodri and his team. In ιnjᴜry time, Chelsea’s Levi Colwill seemed to handle the ball in the penalty area, but the appeals for a handball were dismissed, leading to disappointment and anger from Rodri and his teammates.
