Guardiola Defends Rodri After VAR Dispute as Solanke Brace Denies Man City at Spurs

The draw left Arsenal six points clear in the Premier League.

Overview

  • Manchester City surrendered a 2-0 lead from goals by Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo as Tottenham drew 2-2 through a Dominic Solanke double.
  • Solanke’s first strike was allowed after a VAR review despite apparent contact on Marc Guehi, with Rob Jones officiating on the field.
  • Rodri criticized the decision post-match, insisting referees must be neutral and describing the contact on Guehi as clear.
  • Pep Guardiola maintained the incident should have been a foul yet rejected any notion of a coordinated refereeing bias against City.
  • A planned 75th-minute fan walkout against ENIC did not materialize at Tottenham, while discontent over limited deadline-day business persisted.
