The handball was just accidental, and if you look at the way Sane runs towards the box his hands are going up as he runs so it isn't in an unnatural position when it hits him. There's an element of fortune in that if it hadn't have hit his hand then the chance wouldn't have been as good but that's just the luck of the draw.
If your hand is in an unnatural position when the ball hits it then it's handball, simple as that.
City scored two goals cos of mistakes from Lloris.
Sane should of been sent off.
City should of got a penalty when Walker shoved Sterling.
If my aunty had nuts.
Fair result in my opinion, but if it wasn't for Lloris we would of won even if you dominated as you couldn't convert your chances.

Yup, same way the mullerred Chelsea a few weeks ago, lacking a cutting edge, Aguero looks lost

Maybe not. It took you to go 2 down before you actually tried to have a go at us.
It was a terrific game and a really good advert for the often maligned quality of the premier league
City have only themselves to blame really for not being out of sight by half time but Spurs must take great credit for staying in a game where in the not too distant past I think they would have collapsed under the pressure
Games like this always have plenty of talking points be it possible red cards and penalties not given but I think ultimately we should just look back at the game with pride that 2 teams with so much at stake didn't make it the defensive borefest that's commonly provided when the top sides meet one another and went toe to toe for 90 mins looking to win the game
I was just pleased to see a reaction after the horror show at Everton. I thought we really knocked Spurs off balance for most of the game. In particular our wide players tied down the full backs, Rose in particular had a pretty torrid time. Sane had a great game, not just going forwards but tracking back as well.
'But the Frenchman inadvertently headed the ball against Sane’s hand, allowing the youngster to tap into an empty net.'
The salient point from that lot.
Ball to hand, goal all day long (And it's not even clear from that clip that it was his hand) - are you that desperate to convince everyone you got away with one after Walkers push?
Sane and sterling have to be a starting pair

For me it's handball because it gave him an advantage...
No fault on the referees though. There is no way that they could have spotted it.

I'd have to agree with this.

I think the ref was poor in this game for both teams.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Apart from that Sterling push, the ref was a total homer....Rose was taken out 2 or 3 times, Walker caught late and numerous other fouls where either no foul given or no deserved yellow issued. He was really inconsistent
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I can't remember specifics but there were at least 2 occasions that I thought City players were lucky not to get booked.
What happened with Dele Alli? I saw that a player got pushed but did it warrant a Red or a Yellow? Haven't seen a replay so I can't offer an opinion either way.
The best was the City player offside in his own half. Silva kicked all over the shop in the first 20 minutes in what appeared to be a clear intent. City penalty and Spurs player off and at 3-1 the game is over, even with the terrible finishing City were showing.

Wasn't that Spurs taking the free kick about 3 yards inside City's half? I'd forgotten about that. That was laughable and pretty much sums up the levels of incompetence we all see on a weekly basis.
I remember years ago Anelka getting flagged offside at Newcastle, after latching onto a misplaced back pass by a Newcastle defender.
It wasn't even as if the defender was under pressure from a City player. He just lazily passed it back and the Linesman flagged.
Nothing has changed really.

That was the correct decision to be fair though, they changed the law.

Must have happened overnight. I missed that one.
It was this or last season. The ball is now placed where the ball is touched so essentially, if you run back into your own half from being in a offside position, then the free kick can happen in your own half.
