Man City's Rodri fined £80,000 for ref comments

Manchester City midfielder Rodri has been fined £80,000 for comments he made about the referee after last month's Premier League draw at Tottenham.

The Spain international accused referee Robert Jones of not being "neutral" in City's 2-2 draw on 1 February.

The Football Association said Rodri admitted a charge that he "acted in an improper manner during a post-match media interview by making comments that imply bias and/or question the integrity of a match official and/or match officials".

Rodri was angry that referee Robert Jones allowed Dominic Solanke's goal to stand after he appeared to kick through the leg of City defender Marc Guehi.
