And then of course Doku's boot to the chest of Maca, which, even if you claim he got the ball, if I go for a ball that's high and close to your head and I get the ball but in the follow through kick you on the head, isn't that a yellow card for dangerous play anywhere else on the field?
So how has that not given in the box (along with the penalty it would have entailed)?
That's easily 4 points we've been robbed by poor officiating/VAR decisions in our home games against title rivals.
And in a title race this tight, how can anyone dismiss those as just "....it happens. Get on with it." ?
