Tottenham fullback Walker admits pushing Sterling ahead of Son goal

Tottenham fullback Kyle Walker admits he pushed Raheem Sterling ahead of their equaliser at Manchester City.

Speaking on BT Sport, Walker admitted to pushing Sterling in the back in order to put the Manchester City winger off his strike.

The Spurs right-back nudged his countryman while he was through on goal sending him stumbling. Andre Marriner, however, saw no foul and allowed the play to continue.

Not only should City have been awarded a penalty, but Walker should have seen a straight red for not attempting to play the ball in his challenge.

But City's real punishment came 60 seconds later. Spurs took the ball up the other end and Heung-Min Son scored.
