Now I see the images. On the pitch you don\u2019t see. It\u2019s a clear foul in the first action of the goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a clear foul and VAR is (there) for a reason. These small details make the difference. We\u2019re trying to do our best, it\u2019s the first goal they scored and maybe if they don\u2019t score the goal, we win the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one game and another game and it\u2019s not possible. And honestly I never speak about referees, I respect their job massively, but they have to pay attention to these things. He\u2019s kicked the leg. It\u2019s so clear, it\u2019s so clear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe anticipated the leg of Marc and it\u2019s a clear foul, but it\u2019s not today, it\u2019s two or three games in a row and I don\u2019t know why, honestly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester City midfielder Rodri has hit out at the decision to allow Dominic Solanke\u2019s first goal in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":453848,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-453847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
