Alan Pardew blames referee for losing to Man United at home

December 15, 2016 by 888Scoreonline

Every time a side loses an important it is obvious losing side would point over view decisions that went against them and these mistakes are prominently highlighted by the losing team boss who talks about why they could not win the game citing the mistakes committed by the referee and all that. This is something that seems to have happened with Crystal Palace who failed to contain their visitors in yesterday’s game. Yes, ManU defeated them at their own den by 2-1 making its position stronger in the leaderboard, and why hosts could not win, is something to be known from Alan Pardew who says it was referee’s mistake not to send off Marcos Rojo after his two-footed lunge on Wilfried Zaha in the 38th minute and referee Craig Pawson only slapped a Yellow Card on him surviving him on the field that cost them an important game. Notably, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the late winner for United at Selhurst Park after James McArthur cancelled out Paul Pogba‘s first-half opener that looked to be doubtful as the France international was in on offside position and the ball seemed to be handled by Ibrahimovic following Juan Mata‘s free kick into the box.

This is noteworthy that hosts were also benefited two times in the second period when substitute Joe Ledley escaped punishment after handling in his own box before Mata had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside. Talking about the game, their play, and what cost them, Eagles manager Pardew said, “Rojo’s tackle is dangerous, it’s another two-footed tackle, I think he did one before. He was a bit fortunate to get away with that.

“We can’t really lean on that though because the players have given everything tonight. We were a little bit short of bodies and we’ve got a big game Saturday so we’ve got to take what we can out of this game in terms of our confidence levels. It’s just so galling for us to get that blow at the end because it was real quality what Pogba did, the weight of the pass and the finish. It was a shame because a point would have been important for us tonight. The shape of the team and the effort they put in deserved reward really.

“We worked hard on making sure it was very, very difficult for United to play through us, which we did well. We could’ve done better on the break but I can’t fault them, they’ve given me everything and we need a little break here and there and we’ll be okay.”
