Bernardo Silva claimed Manchester United's Diogo Dalot should have been sent off in a 2-0 derby defeat, alleging rivals get "all the 50-50 decisions." The match saw United have three goals disallowed for offside and hit the woodwork twice, while referee Anthony Taylor only booked Dalot for a 10th-minute foul on Jérémy Doku.

The loss is a major blow to Manchester City's title ambitions, while boosting Manchester United's Champions League qualification hopes under new head coach Michael Carrick. Silva's comments reflect growing frustration at City, who have felt key officiating decisions have gone against them this season in tight matches.

City's poor performance, lacking energy and intent, allowed United to dictate play. While Silva admitted the officiating wasn't the sole reason for the loss, the derby result highlights the fine margins in the Premier League title race and the mounting pressure on Guardiola's side.
