The legendary coach has no argument, according to Clattenburg, despite the fact that the Man City manager was furious after Villa were awarded their penalty.The former Premier League official provided an exclusive interview to

Manchester City News regarding the controversy surrounding Dias’ interaction with Ramsey. “Dias of Manchester City collides with Ramsey of Aston Villa and strikes his opponent on the upper body,” Clattenburg stated. “The defender does make contact with the ball; however, this occurred after the Villa forwards had passed the ball to the defender’s foot.” “The defender’s contact was not intentional and was a result of the forward’s touch.” It is a penalty for me, but it will elicit discussion.

“I do not believe that VAR should intervene, as Howard Webb, Head of PGMOL, stated earlier in the season that it must be a clear and obvious error of the referee. That is a separate debate.” This decision is a matter of debate and should be left to the on-field decision.

Clattenburg regarding the Aston Villa penalty. At interval, Roy Keane and Shay Given concurred on Sky Sports that the penalty imposed on Dias was appropriate.Jamie O’Hara, a pundit for Talksport, would also endorse the sentiments of the Sky Sports commentators. He stated on X (formerly known as Twitter): “I am uncertain as to what they are all complaining about; it is a stone wall penalty.”

“Ruben Dias’ right knee is inserted into Jacob Ramsey.” Gary Neville stated on Sky Sports following the incident, “I believe Ramsey is anticipating it; he is a clever individual.” The debate is expected to persist beyond the full-time siren; however, it seems that the majority of individuals are in agreement with Craig Pawson’s decision.
