Goalkeeper Vicario received a booking for protesting after fans called for him to foul, leading to criticism over the decision to uphold Nathan Ake’s goal against Tottenham.
Manchester City secured a late victory in the FA Cup fourth round, with Ake scoring after a corner incident involving Vicario and Ruben Dias. Fans expressed dissatisfaction, comparing it to a previous disallowed goal when Akanji collided with Alisson during City’s draw with Liverpool.
Despite protests, the decision was accepted by Tottenham manager Ange Postecolglou, emphasizing the challenging nature of the game against a strong opponent. Ake, unaware of the controversy, expressed joy over the team’s performance and the goal. Tottenham fans, however, blamed the decision for the defeat and questioned the consistency in VAR judgments.
