Rodri faces FA ban after referee criticism

Manchester City midfielder Rodri faces a potential ban after criticizing referees following their 2-2 draw with Tottenham on February 1. The Football Association claims his post-match comments suggest bias against match officials, violating FA Rule 3.1. Rodri's remarks came after controversial VAR decisions, including allowing Dominic Solanke's goal despite apparent contact with Marc Guehi and another contentious call against Wolverhampton Wanderers. He also criticized officials after a similar incident against Newcastle United. Rodri has until February 18 to respond. The Cityzens remain four points behind Arsenal at the Premier League summit.
