Watch: Raheem Sterling awarded ghost penalty after dive

07 nov 2018

Manchester City are currently taking on Shakhtar Donestk in the Champions League, with the Premier League side 3-0 up as the match approaches the hour mark. Manchester City’s second goal, however, was shrouded in controversy.

Raheem Sterling was awarded a penalty for a foul that didn’t happen – after the English forward appeared to kick the pitch instead of being caught by the Ukrainian side’s defender.
