Man City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan: It was a penalty!

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan admits there's frustration after their defeat at Liverpool on Sunday.

Premier League leaders Liverpool went nine points clear of City with a 3-1 over their title rivals at Anfield on Sunday.

But there was controversy over Fabinho's opener, with Trent Alexander-Arnold appearing to have handled the ball in the City penalty area in the build-up to the goal.

"What do you want me to say right now? Obviously as a City player it feels like a disadvantage for us," said Gundogan.

“We saw the incident again in the dressing room afterwards and for me, obviously, it's a penalty - but if you ask a Liverpool player they would say 'You can give it but it's maybe a 50-50 situation'.

“I don't think it's easy to judge and I'm not here to make a statement on that, but there were a few situations where I thought maybe we could have had a decision for us. It didn't happen and there's nothing you can do."
