"It's not a handball."

Erling Holan (Manchester City) expressed regret over the 'erased goal'.

Manchester City won 1-0 in an away match against Tottenham in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 27th (Korea time). Manchester City (14 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses) avoided losing consecutive games and maintained its fourth place.




Victory 'hero' was Holan. He started as a front-line striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation. It was an injury return match. Holan was injured at home in the league against Newcastle on the 16th. I haven't played in a while due to a knee injury.

Holan scored a pass handed by Jeremy Doku from the left in the 12th minute of the first half. This marks Holan's 20th goal of the season. Since his debut in the EPL in the 2022-2023 season, he has recorded a great achievement of '20 goals + a' for the third consecutive time. Above all, he wrote a milestone of double-digit scores at home and away. Tottenham, on the other hand, had their 13th first run nightmare of the season. Holan's performance continued. He even scored a decisive goal at the end of the second half. However, the referee declared a handball foul through VAR. The score was called off. The game ended with a score of 1-0.

The British media Mirror reported 'I think it was a big mistake for Holan to have his second goal cleared' The EPL secretariat confirmed the referee's decision on the possibility of Holan's handball on its official SNS (social network service). There was no conclusive evidence to overturn the decision on the field.




After the game, Holan said "I don't think so. I think it's definitely a big mistake. But we make mistakes because we are humans. It's a great goal, and I don't think it's handball. What can we do. We won. I'm happy. However, I think it's a wrong decision."

Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola said, "(The handball) was not clear. When that happens, a lot of doubts arise.'
