PEP GUARDIOLA AND Mikel Arteta both expressed frustrations with the officiating after Sunday’s clash between title chasers Manchester City and Arsenal finished in a barnstorming draw.
The 10-man Gunners defended with their lives throughout the second period and wasted time in a bid to wind down the clock, but City managed to make it 2-2 at the death through substitute John Stones. Arteta faced questions about referee Michael Oliver’s decision to hand a second booking to Trossard for kicking the ball away a fortnight on from Declan Rice getting a second yellow for the same reason.
Put to Arteta there was an unpunished instance of the ball being kicked away featuring City winger Jeremy Doku, he said: “That’s what I’m saying. It’s that obvious that it’s not necessary to comment on it. It’s the second time. The City skipper told BBC Radio 5 Live: “I’m not ever going to come on national TV, national radio and start slagging people off because there’s enough of that going around in the world.
Guardiola shared the City right-back’s annoyance about the equaliser, but did not give a view about a block on goalkeeper Ederson as Gabriel lost Walker to head home a corner.
