RALPH Hasenhuttl insisted the 1-1 draw with Leeds United was a “tough game for the referee”, in response to claims for a foul during the build-up to the home side’s goal.
Ralph Hasenhuttl said: “I think it was a tough game for the referee today because of a lot of fouls and a lot of intense duals. Broja is quick and when the ball is past the defender, the only chance to stop him is with a body and then it’s up to the referee to decide if it’s a foul or not. He said no, we can’t complain, we have to defend. This is what we didn’t do in this moment and then we conceded a goal that normally we have a chance for us. It’s a little bit annoying and disappointing but in the end, the good thing is at half-time we adapted a little bit to the few issues we had, we didn’t have a lot but the few issues we had. Especially with our six sometimes, a little bit too high opening up counter-attacks for them. Second half was much, much better and in the end we had bigger chances, we should win this game.”
