Liam Delap scored twice as Nottingham Forest earned a much-needed 3-1 win against Manchester City. The result also saw City drop six points behind Arsenal in the Premier League table.

Reacting to the potential red card incident – which saw Bogle catch the achilles of Tel – immediately after the match, Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi said: “I can’t say something more because I didn’t see clearly the situation.

“I was surprised because in the same position in the second half, two different fouls and two yellow cards ... I don’t know if it was a red card or not on Mathys Tel... And why I’m telling like this, because the parameter of the referee was not good enough, I think, for this both situation.”

Leeds United’s 1-0 win against Tottenham yesterday was overshadowed by some VAR controversy. Jayden Bogle was lucky to avoid a red card following a challenge on Mathys Tel. Spurs have now submitted a formal complaint to Pro Ref.

Yesterday’s Premier League results

  • Leeds United 1-0 Tottenham

  • Fulham 1-1 Newcastle

  • Arsenal 1-0 Hull City

  • Nottingham Forest 3-1 Manchester City
