The attacking midfielder reacted to Cristian Romero’s goal being disallowed for a foul on Micky van de Ven and criticized the officials for what he saw as a poor start to the new season.
The 27-year-old didn’t restrict his criticism to a single incident, claiming that both VAR and on-field referees have been “an absolute shocker” at the start of the season.
“Honestly the referees & VAR have had an absolute shocker of a start to the season. If that goal is disallowed for a foul you will never ever see a corner be taken without referee blowing for something ever again.”
