Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, was incensed following his team's disallowed goal against Liverpool at Anfield.
The Citizens were defeated by their fierce rivals, who won 1-0 at home, for the first time this campaign.
Mohamed Salah scored a lone goal on the break to give Liverpool the victory.
Guardiola, though, was furious that his team was denied the opportunity to take the lead through Phil Foden because of a foul committed in the buildup to the goal.
Guardiola stated in an interview with Sky Sports that the referee approached the coaches and instructed them to continue playing. Millions of fouls were committed. But once we scored, he decided it was not time to continue. The place is Anfield.
He later told BBC Match of the Day: “The referee says play on, play on, play on, how many thousand million fouls he has almost given? But the goal was not given.
“That is the question, so when the referee decides to speak to the managers, to Jurgen Klopp, to my assistant coach and say ‘I am going to be clear, it happens all the time in that way,’ then you cannot disallow the goal. But if you decide in the first-minute fault, fault, fault… But you know, this is Anfield.”
