La Gazzetta dello Sport believe that referee Marco Di Bello got a major call wrong during last night’s game between AC Milan and Fiorentina at San Siro.
This morning’s edition of the paper (via PianetaMilan) gives Di Bello a 6 out of 10 for his performance as the referee last night, and they think that he got one incident in particular quite badly wrong.
He considered Fabiano Parisi’s challenge on Theo Hernandez to be a genuine play for the ball which means that it would not be punishable by a red card given the penalty was called.
However the paper recall that he had not chance of getting to the ball and instead the full-back simultaneously pushed and tripped Theo as he was bearing down on goal, so it should have been a red.
On the alleged penalty that Fiorentina appealed for, Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s arms were in not out, while he was not enlarging himself and thus it wasn’t given by Di Bello.
