After a crushing elimination against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals, Manchester City bounced back with a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup semifinals.
However, the match at Wembley Stadium was full of controversy due to a crucial call by referee Michael Oliver and the expected intervention of VAR. In minute 55′, Jack Grealish clearly committed a handball inside the box during a free kick.
Many replays showed Grealish’s intention to stop the ball and, in an image which immediately went viral, Mauricio Pochettino jumped to complain as he had a clear view of what occurred.
No penalty kick was awarded and, in minute 84th, Bernardo Silva scored the victory goal. As a consequence, Manchester City will face the winner of Coventry City vs Manchester United in the final.
