Plymouth Argyle boss Steven Schumacher says he could not understand why his side were not awarded a penalty at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon following Leeds United midfielder Ethan Ampadu's challenge on Bali Mumba.
The Welsh international appeared to collide with Argyle defender Mumba in the penalty area during the first half at Elland Road, but referee Josh Smith waved away Plymouth's appeals for a spot-kick. Speaking after the match, Schumacher said he could hear the contact between the two players and was informed by the fourth official that the pair had come together innocuously.
'Trying to ask the referee and the fourth official at the time why isn't that a foul and the answer we got was that it was just a coming together. Now, if it's a coming together in the box when our player's in control of it and the Leeds player doesn't make contact with it, that's a foul, it's a penalty.' Schumacher's thoughts were echoed on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday programme by former Premier League referee Mike Dean.
