Rodri wants more VAR checksChelsea and City draw 1-1City still sit third in Premier League tableWHAT HAPPENED?
Rodri was unhappy that, in his opinion, there had not been enough VAR checks in favour of City in the game and that Chelsea were on the receiving end of more reviews. He went on to suggest that when City have a VAR check, the referee does not spend enough time studying the decision. The Spanish midfielder scored late to peg Chelsea back after former City star Raheem Sterling had put the Blues in front.

Speaking to , Rodri complained: "I don't want to talk abut the referee, but I don't remember a game with so many VAR checks and none for us, come on man. You always see the face of referee and it's now 'move on, move on'."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
It is understandable that Rodri is frustrated, having dropped two points on a day when both Arsenal and Liverpool secured victories. City more than anyone know how important every point can be in the race for the title and with Arsenal winning 5-0 away at Burnley, Rodri may be feeling the heat. Chelsea's Levi Colwill appeared to handle the ball in injury time in the penalty area, but the claims of handball were waved away – much to Rodri and his team-mates' anger.
