Man City Star Bernardo Silva Should Have Been Sent Off vs Arsenal, Claims Fans
The Premier League drama continued to unfold on Sunday as Manchester City drew 2-2 with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. While the match was filled with controversy, Arsenal fans are still fuming over a moment that they believe should have resulted in Man City’s Bernardo Silva being sent off.
In the 75th minute, referee Michael Oliver blew his whistle for a foul, but instead of immediately restarting play, Silva took his time to dribble the ball 10-15 yards up the pitch before being intercepted by an Arsenal player. Fans are arguing that this delay should have been punished with a yellow card, and it’s a decision that could have changed the course of the game.
The Portugal international was eventually booked in the second half, but not for the incident in question. Arsenal fans are still wondering how Silva managed to avoid a yellow card for his actions, and it’s a decision that has left many feeling frustrated.
In his post-match interview, Silva criticized Arsenal’s tactics, claiming that they were trying to waste time and manipulate the referee. However, it’s clear that Silva’s actions on the pitch were also aimed at disrupting the flow of the game.
City maintained their lead in the Premier League table thanks to John Stones’ late equalizer, but Arsenal fans are still reeling from the match. The Gunners are now two points behind their opponents in the table, and it’s a position that they will be looking to rectify in the coming weeks.
