Sure, none of us has any officiating experience nor the authority to talk about referees’ decisions as if we’re experts in that field.However, eyesight and common sense tell us this shouldn’t go unnoticed.You surely remember Fulham’s target man Aleksandar Mitrovic getting sent off against Manchester United for grabbing the referee’s hand.Costly push! Mitrovic gets an eight-match ban!He suffered an 8-game ban by the FA for that. Too harsh? Probably. But if that’s debatable, one thing definitely isn’t – last night Manchester City’s boss Pep Guardiola did almost the same against Brighton and Hove Albion at Amex stadium and got away with it with just a yellow card!?The Cityzens’ 12-game winning streak came to an end on Wednesday night as they were forced to settle for a point at the Seagulls’ ground.The Premier League champions thought they had scored a late winner when Erling Haaland headed home Cole Palmer’s cross in the 79th minute.Pep in motion and action (©Getty images sport)However, the goal was chalked off by referee Simon Hooper following VAR intervention as replays showed the Norwegian striker tugging on Levi Colwill’s shirt.And it seemed as though Guardiola – and his assistant Rodolfo Borell – were making that point on the touchline, with the City boss then manhandling linesman Adrian Holmes.##NAJAVA_MECA_7277163##He apologised shortly after having realised his mistake, but he was still shown only a yellow card.Guardiola was asked about his yellow card in his interview with Sky Sports, where he said:”I was complaining about the goal being disallowed.”
