That's a foul. In any sport, that is a foul. In the 77th minute, seconds before Spurs' equalizer, Raheem Sterling took a pass and broke free into the penalty area on Spurs' goalkeeper (who had an awful game). This would have made it 3-1 against a ten-man Spurs club.

Raheem accepts the pass. Kyle Walker, the Spurs felon, hunts him down.

Raheem, with control of the ball, breaks away.

Now in the penalty area, Raheem about to shoot, and there is the push,

knocking Raheem off stride,

causing a weak shot. Raheem would have scored, especially against this weak goalkeeper.



What were the referees looking at? How could they not see that? In such a big match. This wasn't crowded action where their views may have been obscured. Sterling was in alone. The only other player in the picture was Walker chasing him down. Raheem was in the penalty area, Walker pushed him, in the penalty area! How could the refs not call that? They had theater seats to the foul. They did not call it and moments later Spurs broke the other way and Son scored the tying goal. That is just inexcusable refereeing.

Oh well! Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug.
