Manchester City midfielder Rodri called on referees “to be neutral” in a furious tirade after their Premier League title bid suffered another setback after a 2-2 draw at Tottenham. 

City were cruising towards victory in north London at 2-0 up on Sunday, but the momentum swung in Spurs’ favour after a goal by Dominic Solanke was allowed to stand despite the forward appearing to foul Marc Guehi before making contact with the ball. Solanke then produced a stunning scorpion kick to equalise and leave City six points adrift of leaders Arsenal.
