When the incident, which led to Manchester City against Manchester City on Tuesday evening, was led on the large screen of the Etihad stadium in the first half, he showed an almost louder roar as the opening goal of Bernardo Silva.
As much as he had been in the openings of 17 seconds of the procedure, Ruben Dias pursued Marcus Rashford in the middle of the first half. Manchester United’s motivated borrower drove into the penalty area and dribbled the ball into the step of Jacob Ramsey, who fell after the contact of Dias.
The Portuguese central defender immediately raised his arms in a protest against absolute innocence and the referee Craig Pawson initially agreed and waved on. However, the game was soon stopped when a word from Var John Brooks drilled into the ear of his co -officer.
Pawson was led to the pitch-side monitor, where he was shown several repetitions of a challenge that his colleague kept as a “clear journey”. The official Match Center X account of the Premier League explained the exact sequence of events during the game.
“Var checked the referee’s reputation for no punishment for Aston Villa on a challenge from Dias on Ramsey – and thought it was a clear journey and recommended a review on the field,” said the post. “The referee picked up the original decision and gave Aston Villa a punishment.”
The Etihad was not impressed by the change of heart of the referee. Guardiola was so disgusted with the decision that he received a yellow card for his violent protest.
Rashford’s electric start to the process was covered with a cool -beaten stain, which canceled Bernardo’s opener in the sixth minute.
The Mancunian of childhood came through the United Academy and scored six goals in 22 Manchester -derbies against the Sky Blues, but his family loyalities are a bit more complicated. “Half of my family were united supporters and the other half were city,” said Rashford in the past.
The City fans from the Rashford Brood will have observed the competition on Tuesday in view of the effects on the branched race for the qualification of the Champions League. City and Villa represent two of the five pages that follow the three remaining places that offer a way to the leading competition in Europe.
