The talented Mateo Kovacic, Manchester City player, starred in an astonishing series of fouls in the exciting confrontation against Arsenal in the first half of the match, a sequence that was on the verge of changing the course of the game and costing him the expulsion.
In a crucial moment, the Croatian launched a risky tackle on Martin Ødegaard, using his studs firmly and triggering a VAR review for a possible red card. However, the final verdict, by referee Michael Oliver, assisted by VAR, was a yellow card which sparked fury in the Arsenal dugout.
But the tension did not stop there. A few minutes later, Kovacic committed another forceful foul, this time on Declan Rice. While the foul itself created tension at Emirates Stadium, the sequence of infringements could have culminated in the Croatian player’s expulsion.
I won’t get tired of saying it, as long as football continues to be run by monkeys with guns, it doesn’t matter what great tools you give them.
It will all continue to be nonsense, 3 guys with 3 screens in front of them decide that this is not a red card for Kovacic, incredible. pic.twitter.com/HcyN04rUFr
