Jose Mourinho insisted that Raheem Sterling should have been sent off in the first half of Tottenham's win over Manchester City on Sunday, before praising his players for the effort they put into the game.
There were plenty of flashpoints during a competitive first 45 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, most notably when City were awarded a penalty after VAR ruled that Serge Aurier brought down Sergio Aguero in the box.
Ilkay Gundogan saw his spot-kick saved by Hugo Lloris, but video technology was also the talking point earlier in the half, when Sterling escaped a red card after a rash challenge on Dele Alli.
