Daniel Farke fumes as Leicester City rivals dealt huge blow..
Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive as the Foxes’ Championship promotion rivals Leeds United lose at Preston North End on Boxing Day
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke says goalkeeper Illan Meslier “should have reacted smarter” after his red card in Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to Preston.
In the 53rd minute, the Frenchman was sent off for shoving Preston’s Milutin Osmajic in the face. Meslier’s blunder might cost Leeds promotion, with Leicester City now having the opportunity to go 16 points clear of the Whites if they beat Ipswich on Tuesday evening.
And Farke concedes that his goalkeeper should have behaved differently at Deepdale. He did, however, criticize Osmajic for “diving and rolling around,” which he believes contributed to the red card.
“I’m not sure if the ban is three matches.” “We’ll see,” he stated after the game, according to our sister site LeedsLive. “Clearly, we don’t need to analyze it.
“First knock, second player has nothing to do, so he runs a hard knock against his body to provoke something.” Illan responds. The player spins ten times. What they want. As a referee, you should be aware of this and not attempt to influence a game in this manner. Just once.
“There will be no fair play award for his diving and rolling around to draw red cards.” I can’t criticize since this is what a team does when it’s looking for momentum. Against a team that performed admirably on Saturday.
“I gave the referee a choice.” Should have reacted more wisely. It’s not a red card. They are clearly attempting to antagonize him. Yellows all around is a reasonable consequence. The game is influenced by the red card. It’s an away game. “A fiery atmosphere.”
