Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Scholes… Guy2Bezbar’s dream eleven!

On Saturday followingnoon, Arsenal shook Manchester City. While they scored the Skyblues like never before for an hour, the Gunners lost at the very end of the match while Rodri gave the victory to the Citizens (90th + 3 ‘, 2-1). However, this match was marked by arbitration decisions, in particular by a penalty awarded to the Mancuniens as well as the red given to Gabriel, which had the gift of triggering the Londoners’ scold. What Mark Clattenburg understands.

Clattenburg proves Arsenal right!

In remarks granted to the Daily Mail, the former international referee returned to the various facts of the game that impacted the match. In particular in the first place on the non-penalty awarded to Arsenal and Martin Odegaard: ” He (the referee) was right not to give a penalty. Martin Odegaard saw Ederson rush for the ball. Odegaard went flying and instead of using his arms to cushion his fall, he threw them into the air. This is a telltale sign of a footballer looking for a free kick. It didn’t fool Attwell or VAR Jarred Gillett, who saw the ball change direction due to Ederson’s intervention “he initially launched.

If he therefore speaks once morest the Gunners on this first decision, he takes their side on the following two, namely the penalty awarded to Manchester City and the red from Gabriel: ” The referee did not award a penalty at first, but VAR told him he had made a clear and obvious mistake and that everyone at Emirates Stadium knew what was going to happen by the time Attwell began to point to the monitor. Attwell should have stuck to his initial instincts. Bernardo Silva pushed the ball past Granit Xhaka. But Xhaka removed his leg and Silva still fell in order to get a penalty. It was a generous penalty and it’s no wonder Arsenal fans and players were furious when they showed the slow motion on the big screen“.

Finally, he mentioned the expulsion of the Brazilian: ” I have no problem with the first yellow card. But I don’t think Gabriel’s collision with Gabriel Jesus on the halfway line was worthy of a yellow. It’s a normal fault, no more no less “. What to give even more regrets to Arsenal, who logically fell short on the numerical advantage.

to summarize

While Arsenal blamed the referee for certain decisions on Saturday during the clash once morest Manchester City, Mark Clattenburg agreed with the Gunners. In particular on the actions of the penalty awarded to Bernardo Silva and the red from Gabriel.
