The referee for this match is the famous Premier League whistle, Clattenburg.
When the goal happened, he was standing just outside the penalty area, watching clearly.
As Nasri was about to shoot, Clattenburg focused intently, eyes wide open, watching the Chelsea defenders in the box for any fouls or handballs.
Nasri was knocked over!
Clattenburg thought to himself, such an obvious foul, definitely a penalty!
But when he saw that the one who pushed Nasri was his own Manchester City teammate, Tang Long, he quickly spat out the whistle he had in his mouth.
What's this nonsense?
Then, Tang Long scored the goal, and Clattenburg signaled the goal was valid, giving Manchester City the lead.
As Clattenburg walked back, he was secretly amazed!
In his ten-plus years as a referee, it was the first time he had seen such a bizarre scene, where the player about to shoot was pushed aside by his teammate, losing the scoring opportunity to his teammate.
