Glasner: We are to blame for defeat, not referee

Magnanimous Palace head coach Oliver Glasner said Barrott’s error would have been inconsequential had his side made the most of their first-half dominance, and refused to blame the official for his side’s defeat.

“It is over, it makes no sense, it is what it is,” he told Sky Sports. “There was also a very tight penalty before, but we talk about what we can influence and you see where the ‘penalty’ is when we had a three-against-two, we have to play this pass better, then we can score the goal and without depending on penalty, or not.

“So with many situations, we could do better. We are not in the rhythm we want to be, it is not an excuse. I saw many situations we created very well, in transition, set plays we were very dangerous, but in the end it was a 2-1 loss and that is the disappointment.”
