Brentford boss Andrews ‘really disappointed’ with Man City penalty decision
Brentford boss Andrews ‘really disappointed’ with Man City penalty decision Brentford head coach Keith Andrews felt his side were denied a clear penalty following defeat to Manchester City on Saturday. Pep Guardiola’s men ran out 3-0 winners at the Etihad Stadium thanks to strikes from Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush. The Bees created an opportunity to level matters at a goal down when Igor Thiago laid the ball off to Kevin Schade in the box, but Matheus Nunes did enough to put the attacker off.
The referee’s decision not to award a penalty for the incident was confirmed by VAR following a review, but Andrews felt there was enough in it to warrant a spot kick. Brentford boss Andrews ‘really disappointed’ with Man City penalty decision “I think there was a lot going on for the officials,” the Irishman told Sky Sports after the final whistle. “I will be the first to tell what a difficult job they have to do on a day-to-day basis.
It’s difficult with all the contentious issues and at times the playacting. I thought Kevin Schade incident was a penalty. So that was really disappointing.
” Despite the scoreline, Andrews took the positives out of his team’s performance. “We were playing against a team fighting for the title. You could see that from their urgency.
I liked a lot of what we did today. I liked the bravery and courage with our approach. “It needed to be a near perfect performance from us to win tonight.
