Manchester City midfielder, Yaya Toure has blamed the match officials for the Citizens loss to Arsenal in the semi-final of the FA Cup. Toure seems to imply that the referees were Arsenal fans and probably part of the ones that want Wenger to stay. He said Raheem Sterling’s goal was disallowed wrongly and City should have been awarded a penalty for a foul on Sergio Aguero.
“I think the referees have to stop this,” the Ivorian said
“I am very disappointed. It is not the first time, there have been a couple of times.
“If we have to talk about referees, people are going to say we complain, but when we see the highlights, for me it is very disappointing.”
Asked whether Sane’s cross stayed in play.
“Definitely and it was a penalty and something more. But what can we do?” Toure responded
“If we talk about the referee the FA is going to come in for the punishment if we think like that, but I think I need to sleep and rest and forget this game.”
“I think Arsenal played well and maybe they deserved the win, but at the end of the day we are very sad because after we see the big mistake of the referee,” he added. “All the time – something needs to stop.
“Maybe on Thursday we will have a better referee or play without a referee. I would prefer that.”
Alexis Sanchez pounced to settle the contest in extra time after Nacho Monreal cancelled out Sergio Aguero’s second-half opener during the regular time.
