That decision by the ref in the city game was the clearest evidence of corruption there's ever been.
Refs can and do make shit and wrong calls all the time, they can hide behind plenty of things to justify shit decisions though or just flat out claim human error if it's particularly bad and nobody can really question it.
That one at city though there's literally no valid reason however suspect and unlikely that can be given for doing what he did other than corruption. He can be seen waving play on as city had the advantage, They then play the ball forward, Grealish is clean through and he then blows and brings it back for a city freekick. The only reason you can bring it back at that point is if there's no advantage, I'd say grealish being played clean through is a pretty fucking big advantage.
So far nobody can even begin to offer an explanation for it, there's a reason for that. There isn't one. It's clear as day there's something very suspect occurred there but it looks like it will get brushed under the carpet because pep hasn't in his words "done an arteta" and made a scene about it.
He really should have tbh its worth the pathetic FA fine he would have got to see how they explain this one.
