Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji expressed bewilderment at how Arsenal escaped without receiving “clear yellow cards” during their goalless draw at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Despite a foul-filled match featuring 20 fouls by Arsenal, referee Anthony Taylor did not book any Arsenal players except for time-wasting offenses by Gabriel Jesus and David Raya.
Akanji disclosed several instances where he believed Arsenal players should have been cautioned, stating the need for consistency in refereeing decisions.
With the title race heating up, both City and Arsenal have crucial matches ahead, aiming to secure maximum points to bolster their positions in the league standings.
Former City forward Gabriel Jesus stressed the importance of focusing on their own performances amidst the competitive nature of the Premier League.
