Manchester City central manager Rodri has withdrawn from official duties with the FA after being found guilty of refereeing in the match against Tottenham. Manchester Evening News reports.

The match at the Tottenham Gotspur Stadium ended with a 2:2 score.. Manchester City is 2:0, but the rulers managed to win. One of the key episodes took place during the hour of Tottenham's first goal, when Dominique Solanke, according to the visitors' team, broke the rules against Marc Gaia before the ball, after a ricochet, landed at the gate of Gianluigi Donnarummi. After looking at VAR, the referee awarded the goal.



After the match, Rodri criticized the referee's decision, saying that it was unfair and drawing attention to possible pre-emption. These very words have become a basis for disciplinary action.

In a statement, the Football Association of England noted that the driver behaved improperly during the post-match interview, making comments that could be interpreted as preemption or.

Rodri may give official confirmation until February 18th. Once an offense is committed, you may be subject to disqualification.
