Leeds United felt aggrieved not to have been given a penalty during Tuesday’s Championship clash.
The referee at the centre of Leeds United’s controversial penalty fury against Sunderland on Tuesday has been picked to officiate a Premier League clash this weekend. Tim Robinson will be in the middle of Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to Newcastle United on Saturday lunchtime, just a few days after refereeing Leeds’ 0-0 Championship draw at home to Sunderland. Robinson got on the wrong side of Daniel Farke and his players after appearing to miss what would have been two crucial penalty decisions.
'Leeds Utd have every right to be disappointed not to have been awarded a penalty kick for a clear handball,' Hackett wrote on social media. 'Despite being in a good position the referee failed to see the offence his view sadly blocked. The assistant should have detected the offence but also failed. If you award a penalty kick you have to be 100% certain. That rare occasion where VAR if in operation would have ensured the correct PK call.
