SPOTTED: Was there contact? Manchester City awarded 'soft penalty' by Chris Foy
PENALTY decisions can often be quite controversial and Manchester City arguably got the rub of the green thanks to Chris Foy.
After just two minutes, the Citizens were awarded a spot kick when Edin Dzeko tumbled under the challenge of Jose Fonte.
The Saints defender initially appeared to dangle out a leg and Dzeko went to ground to earn his side a penalty.
But closer replays suggest Fonte kicked thin air with Dzeko arguably looking for a decision.
Foy had a clear view of the incident and hesitated at first before deciding to point to the spot.
City took advantage of the contentious decision with Yaya Toure stepping up to roll the ball home.
