Oliver Glasner calls for consistency as Bournemouth’s Scott escapes red card
Bournemouth escaped punishment for an incident similar to that which saw Palace go down to ten men
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has called for more consistent officiating after yellow card drama took centre stage in their goalless draw with Bournemouth.
Palace defender Chris Richards was shown a second yellow in first-half injury time for tripping Justin Kluivert, not long after Bournemouth’s Alex Scott, who was already booked, escaped without punishment for a foul on Ismaila Sarr, who was driving goalwards.
The Austrian continued: “It is either a yellow or it is not. If it is not enough for a second yellow, the Scott foul, then it is not enough for the Chris Richards foul, or it is enough on both sides. This is the only thing I am criticising today.”
