VAR Drama: Wolves Manager Sympathizes with Referee Stuart Attwell

Wolves manager Gary O’Neil expressed sympathy for referee Stuart Attwell after he faced more controversy during Bournemouth 1-0 victory at Molineux. Attwell decision to award a foul against Matheus Cunha following advice from VAR Darren England led to Wolves’ equalizer being disallowed. 

O’Neil refrained from commenting on the decision but wished Attwell well amidst a challenging period. He emphasized his focus on his team rather than officiating decisions. Meanwhile, Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez received a straight red card after a foul on Matt Doherty a decision that survived a VAR check.

Bournemouth’s manager Andoni Iraola agreed with the disallowed goal but stated they would appeal against Kerkez red card. He argued that Justin Kluivert involvement in the play affected the outcome making the foul clear and obvious.
