Manchester City brought an outstandingly satisfying away win home from the Veltins Arena last night when they beat FC Schalke 04 3-2. And this from a 2-1 deficit and being reduced to 10 men following the dismissal of Otamendi for a nonsensical 2nd yellow card.
The villain of the piece was however not a footballer but the VAR system of giving decisions remotely. City were cruising, leading 1-0 and creating enough chances to make the second leg almost unnecessary when in their first attack, the Germans saw a shot deflect for a corner, which was indicated by the referee.
