On Wednesday 7th November 2018 during the Manchester City vs Shakhtar Donetsk UCL game, we witness a pretty historic moment in footballing history after Raheem Sterling ran into the penalty area, kicked the ground instead of the ball, and was awarded a penalty for doing so.
Raheem Sterling ran into the penalty area, kicked THE GROUND instead of THE BALL, and was awarded a penalty for doing so.
No, no one touched Sterling prior to the ground kicking. No one was even close to touching him. Despite all of this, the referee pointed to the penalty spot.
Pay a particular attention to Pyatov’s reaction.
What angered football fans is the fact that Sterling did apologize after the match, he said to BT Sport:
“I went to chip the ball and don’t know what happened. I didn’t feel contact. I scuffed the ball. Apologies to the ref.”
