Slot reacts
Arne Slot reveals Stuart Attwell’s decision not to send Lucas Bergvall off had a huge impact on his side losing the game.
He also said Attwell himself must have been concerned to see the Spurs man go on to score the winner.
He told Sky Sports: “I think everyone who stands in front of a camera will say it had a big influence on the game.
“It didn’t feel to me like we were ever going to lose. The decision he made had a huge impact on the result.
“There’s nothing else I can say on that.
“That is a rule I don’t like, if a player gets injured and treatment he has to go off for 30 seconds. I don’t understand why this is necessary.
“Conceding during this time and to the player who should have had a second yellow card is not ideal.
“I think the referee was even thinking ‘is this really happening, with him scoring’.
“The fourth official told me in the tunnel why he didn’t think it was a yellow, then Robbo asked the referee and was told it’s because he didn’t stop a counter attack.
“He could still give a yellow if it’s a reckless challenge but he didn’t see it as reckless, which we can debate.”
