"Are they really going dark? The head referee didn't see it, the linesman didn't see it, what about VAR??"

"Damn it, the Premier League is really targeting Man City. Two consecutive championships, dominating the league, and now they're blatantly doing it!"

Pellegrini's Premier League title, plus Guardiola's titles, Man City's dominance in the Premier League is despairing.

Since the start of this season, it's even harder to see any hope of pulling Man City down. Every game is a big win.

"Two offsides! How is the Premier League official going to explain this??"

"And there was a controversial foul. Almost a minute had passed, and they still managed to find it and disallow the goal..."

"The Premier League doesn't want to see Man City continue to dominate, no more excitement??"

"The referee is disabled but determined. He's blind but insists on officiating the game. It's truly touching the Premier League!"

"Just declare Tottenham the winner! Why bother putting on such a show?"

The Dragon Country fans, Man City fans, were about to explode with anger.

The Tottenham fans in the stands were already hyped up. Tottenham was leading against Man City, the team that took down Arsenal and Manchester United!

If Man City, the Premier League leader with the best offense and fewest goals conceded, was defeated, wouldn't Tottenham have a chance at the championship?

England national team head coach, Southgate, sat there with a slight frown.

This time, he came with a mission, preparing to chat with Zhao Gang. After several requests from him, Perrin finally agreed.

Now Perrin was sitting next to him, looking unwell.

Southgate didn't expect the referee to be on a mission too, just like him.

Would this make the originally wavering Zhao Gang feel that English football was too dark, completely losing interest in joining the England national team?

"The referee is just part of the game, misjudgments are a unique charm of football... Our England has also encountered even more terrible misjudgments than this in the World Cup." Southgate chatted with Perrin, recalling how Lampard's shot in the South Africa World Cup had clearly crossed the goal line entirely, but was still disallowed.

Perrin nodded, without saying a word.

On the field, Tottenham was leading.

The actions between the two sides became more frequent.

The Man City players were getting anxious, and Tottenham's style of play had always been aggressive. Now the tackles between the two sides were even fiercer.

Helpless, the referee issued four yellow cards in just over ten minutes.

Including Zhao Gang, Sterling, Kane, and Son Heung-min.

In the confrontation between Zhao Gang and Son Heung-min, the two players launched consecutive sliding tackles at each other.

This provoked the Korean commentator to curse Zhao Gang.

"He's really a petty person, resorting to such disgusting tricks when he can't beat Son Heung-min."

As for Son Heung-min's yellow card, it was a manifestation of Son Heung-min's fighting spirit. Football should be passionate and fierce!

Otherwise, what's the point of playing football??

Tottenham's midfield interception made it difficult for Man City to create smooth plays.

Silva was brought down several times, clutching his ankle in pain.

Tottenham's players had become much bolder. They had realized that the referee's decisions were extremely favorable to them.

Since the referee was helping, what was there to fear?

A yellow card didn't matter, as long as the actions weren't too excessive, they probably wouldn't get another one!

Silva stood up and passed the free kick to Gundogan.

At this time, Zhao Gang had already moved to the center. Gundogan took a few steps and found an opportunity to pass to Zhao Gang.

In an instant, two Tottenham players, Son Heung-min and Alli, surrounded him.

If Zhao Gang wanted to force a breakthrough and couldn't be stopped, they would just bring him down, absolutely not allowing him to enter the danger zone.

Zhao Gang stepped on the ball, observing his teammates' runs.

He realized that there weren't any great opportunities.

He tried to move forward in the center, waiting for more teammate support.

The Man City players began to move forward. Zhao Gang seized the opportunity to pass the ball back, then made a reverse run, heading for the space behind Alli.

Silva understood and made a chipped pass. Zhao Gang received the ball, made a slight adjustment, and immediately prepared to continue his breakthrough.

Son Heung-min and Alli were faked out for a moment. Seeing that Zhao Gang was about to rush into the danger zone, Son Heung-min made a sliding tackle, directly disrupting Zhao Gang's attack.

A whistle blew, and Zhao Gang fell to the ground, clutching his foot.

Son Heung-min hurriedly looked at the referee. He already had a yellow card. If he got another one for this tackle, it would be a disaster!

The Man City players surrounded the referee, who warned Son Heung-min but didn't issue a card.

"This free kick is quite far. With the goalkeeper and defenders prepared, it's impossible to score directly."

Zhao Gang had scored from very long distances before, but those were all situations where the goalkeeper's position was too far forward or they weren't focused.

At this distance, Zhao Gang would likely be able to kick it in if there was no goalkeeper.

But with a goalkeeper, the ball would be very slow when it reached the goal, and the goalkeeper could easily save it.

The Man City players once again stood inside the penalty area, preparing to fight for the header.

There were fifteen minutes left in the game, which was extremely unfavorable for Man City.

They had to seize this free kick opportunity.

Gundogan, Fernandinho, Stones, Sterling, and Kolarov all ran into the box.

Only Otamendi remained in the backfield.

David Silva and Zabaleta stood outside the penalty area, waiting for a second chance to attack.

Aguero was now on the other side, waiting to charge into the penalty area.

"Let's see if Zhao Gang can find a spot in the box!!" Zhan Lu gritted his teeth, following Zhao Gang's steps, "Cross it into the box!

The spot is excellent!

Gundogan!

Gundogan!!"

Because of the presence of the attacking players, whether it was a counterattack or a positional attack, Gundogan mostly acted as a transition, rarely having the opportunity to shoot.

Only during free kick scrambles did he have the chance to rush into the penalty area.

Zhao Gang's previous assist for Sterling's goal was disallowed because of Gundogan's collision with Alli in the penalty area, which was ruled a foul.

This time, Gundogan charged up again, leaping high and heading the rapidly falling ball. Alli, who was defending Gundogan, failed to hold him back and fell to the ground again!

"Gundogan!... This ball is in!!!"

Gundogan headed the ball squarely, and Lloris didn't have time to get down. The ball bounced and went into the lower left corner of the goal!

Gundogan stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, tumbled twice, rushed to the sideline, and roared at the sky.

He was venting his suppressed emotions like crazy.

His previous goal was disallowed because of his foul, that insignificant foul.

Man City's leading goal was canceled.

Gundogan was probably the most disappointed and uncomfortable of all the Man City players.

This time, he withstood the pressure and scored with a header!

Man City's teammates swarmed over.

This game was too difficult to play. The goal was disallowed, Tottenham's offside goal was allowed.

They felt like they were the referee's enemy.

This goal allowed all the Man City players to release a breath of pent-up anger.

Guardiola didn't celebrate, standing nervously on the sidelines, waiting for the referee's confirmation.

Finally, the referee pointed to the center circle, the goal was valid.

Guardiola slowly exhaled, then suddenly thought of something and looked at the referee again.

The referee wasn't holding his ear and communicating with VAR. Guardiola waved his fist and finally dared to celebrate.

Alli falling in the penalty area made Guardiola unsure if VAR would be consulted again.

Tottenham's players were a bit disappointed, but no one went to argue with the referee.

Alli was trying to pull Gundogan, then his footwork faltered and he fell.

It would be too shameless to complain about this goal.

If the referee went to VAR again, he might be killed by radical fans!

"Oh, Gundogan's positioning was very good for this goal, Alli also missed him, Tottenham's defense had a problem!" The Korean commentator, upon seeing the goal, didn't mention Zhao Gang at all.

He didn't mention this free kick that fell rapidly, had an extremely fast rotation speed, and had an excellent landing point.

It was this almost flawless free kick that found Gundogan, allowing Gundogan to head the ball in without any adjustment!

"Man City, in the 76th minute of the game, ties the score! In an extremely unfavorable situation, Zhao Gang's indirect free kick assists Gundogan to score!

Gundogan's first goal after joining Man City!

The game isn't over yet! There's still plenty of time!"
