During the draw between Olympique Lyonnais and Olympique de Marseille (1-1) in Ligue 1 on Sunday, Marseille coach André Villas-Boas lost his temper against referee Stéphanie Frappart during the match due to the penalty awarded in Les Gones. But at a press conference, the Portuguese technician made his mea-culpa.
“We looked at the images at the end and it is true that if this action of the penalty is going for us, we would have liked the penalty to be whistled. So it is acceptable, in the end. And on the expulsion (of Dimitri Payet, editor’s note), there is really nothing to say, “commented the OM coach.
Indeed, the central defender of OM Alvaro Gonzalez has caught the foot of the left side of OL Melvin Bard on the action of the penalty obtained by the Rhone.
