Leeds United defender Junior Firpo required treatment in the second half
Keith Hackett and Dermot Gallagher feel Blackburn Rovers star Tyrhys Dolan was fortunate not to be sent off in their win over Leeds United.
Hackett, a former FIFA referee and PGMOL chief, says referee Lewis Smith should have brandished a red card to Dolan following the forward's strong challenge on Firpo. "That’s red. It’s serious foul play," Hackett told MOT Leeds News. “He’s gone in with his left leg, it’s high. It’s right in front of the referee.
United boss Daniel Farke voiced his unhappiness over Smith's decision in his post-match news conference after seeing them fall to a third defeat of the season. He exchanged words with Smith at full time and was left unimpressed with the official for sending off Dolan or clamping down on Rovers 'time-wasting' antics.
