He made a good point that if Gabriel hadn't gone down (aka dived theatrically) then the free kick would not have been given. And that would have been a whole different game!
I was trying to explain that to a city fan at work. It was actually very clever from Gabriel. He was also right about the comms issues with the lino. We had just built up a nice head of steam at that point. Thankfully, it didn't take long to get back on it.
