Their goals were easy, they didn't have to work for them so if that remains City can kiss goodbye to top 4. It DID hit his hand and Hugo's almighty blunder let them in so that they couldn't miss the goal. To get top 4 City will have to have more decisiveness from their players.

Our goals were easy?
You were playing a side that have just conceded 6 goals out of 6 attempts on target. Not really how much easier you could have had it tbh...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's true though, your goals did come about from goalkeeping howlers. The way you had been playing prior to this was irrelevant. That said you played a lot better than us and should have had a penalty, although perhaps your first should have been given as handball.

We'd be fecking top of the table mate if we hadn't conceded any goals from keeper howlers over the past four months!
As for handball, I've literally heard no one mention that other than the odd Spurs fan on here, if it were reversed and your forward had headed it onto our defenders hand from that distance you would do very, very, well to get a penalty out of it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I doubt you'd have been top somehow, as you've been pretty underwhelming this season, not just in the goalkeeping department. And even though your goalkeeper has been terrible, most of the time it's moments where he could do better getting to shots. The two from Lloris today were complete gifts from a usually reliable keeper.
The handball was mentioned on MOTD actually. Shearer didn't think it was, and after seeing it again it probably wasn't, even though if it hadn't have hit his hand the way it did, that opportunity may not have been presented to Sane.
It was a terrible decision from the referee, but to be fair the game was riddled with them from him.
City got away with several fouls which should have seen cards given. Two or three on Rose alone. He favoured City massively, which only compounded their dominant performance. In the minutes prior to one of their goals he let them get away with two blatanat fouls on our players.
So while I agree it was a penalty (although Sterling's body strength must be questioned), City benefitted throughout the whole game from the referee's mistakes
On the Sanr handball....
I need to see it again, but was his hand directly in front of his body?
If so, there is an argument that is not a natural position and it is handball.
One of those that if not given you would probably say fair enough, but if given you would too

Ledley - check out the pic here https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/2673429/manchester-city-2-tottenham-2-watch-highlights-gabriel-jesus-has-debut-goal-ruled-offside-as-spurs-fight-back-for-valuable-title-race-point/
check the 4th pic down, hand wayyyy out in front - THAT'S HANDBALL
I agree we got off with the penalty shout. No one has mentioned that Sane should have been sent off for that discussing late foul on Walker. Later in the game he would have gone...Ref bottled it and didn't even give him a yellow
