Rodri: The referee has to be neutral and for me honestly, it’s not fair

City had VAR decisions go against them in matches with Newcastle, Manchester United and Wolves in January, and Rodri appeared to question whether officials were being fair.

UNFAIR: Manchester City’s Rodri at the final whistle.

Manchester City midfielder Rodri has said referees ‘have to be neutral’ as he criticised the decision to allow Tottenham’s first goal in Sunday’s 2-2 draw.

City looked set to close the gap on Arsenal at the top of the Premier League back to four points after they raced into a two-goal first-half lead through Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo, but Spurs produced a spirited fightback.
