The man in the middle has a busy night under the Pittodrie lights
It was a thriller at Pittodrie - and referee John Beaton certainly had a busy evening in the Granite City.
Ester Solker ‘penalty’ The Aberdeen striker was closing in on goal before Leon Balgoun flew in with a last-ditch tackle to deny Solker a clean run through at Jack Butland’s goal. The raging forward saw his claims waved away and was booked for his angry reaction towards ref Beaton - but VAR would back up the man in the middle.
Kris Boyd conceded on Sky Sports: “It’s a penalty for me. When it’s travelling so far; I know Souttar has gone to head it but it has hit his hand. Whether it goes in it’s a different matter but it has hit his hand so a penalty needs to be give."
