Wolves Boss Furious After City Goal: "It's Not Fair!"

It was a night of frustration for Wolves manager Bruno Lage after his side fell to a controversial 1-0 defeat against Manchester City. The winning goal, a stunning strike from Jack Grealish, was the subject of much debate after a potential handball in the build-up went unpunished.

It's not every day you see a manager really lose his cool, but Lage was fuming after the match. "I'm sorry, but that goal should not have stood," he fumed in his post-match interview. "It's a clear handball in the build-up, and it's a joke that the referee didn't see it. It's not fair on us, it's not fair on the players, and it's not fair on the fans."

The incident in question saw Riyad Mahrez appear to control the ball with his arm before laying it off for Grealish, who then unleashed a rocket of a shot past Jose Sa in the Wolves goal.

Lage argued that the referee's decision to allow the goal to stand was "a travesty" and said he was "disgusted" by the lack of VAR intervention. "I don't understand how the VAR didn't see it. It was right in front of them. It's just frustrating. It feels like we're constantly getting the raw end of the deal."

While Lage's fury is understandable, City fans will be quick to point out that the handball was very subtle, and it was hard to tell if it was intentional. However, the Wolves boss is adamant that it was a clear handball, and that his team were robbed of a point.

The defeat leaves Wolves in 10th place in the Premier League table, while City extend their lead at the top. But for Lage, the result will be overshadowed by the controversial goal and his passionate outburst after the match. It's safe to say he won't be forgetting this one anytime soon.
