In the Premier League game between Bournemouth and Fulham there is a bizarre change of change. Fulham head coach Marco Silva comments on the events after the game.
On Monday evening, the AFC Bournemouth received FC Fulham in the Premier League. The hosts won the game 1-0 in the first minute after a goal by Antoine Semenyo. After the game, a bizarre change of change caused a conversation.
In the 57th minute, a trio was replaced by the guests from Fulham. However, it was not long before it turned out that this was not so intended by coach Marco Silva.
The 47-year-old protested angrily at the fourth official Tim Robinson, but his appeals came up with deaf ears whether the regulations.
Silva tries to correct the error
Ryan Sessegnon, Sander Berge and Rodrigo Muniz were taken from the field, but Adama Traore, Raul Jimenez and Tom Cairney were substituted. Everything to achieve the hoped -for compensation.
Defender Sessegnon, who once had played in Hoffenheim, should not belong to the substitute trio. Much more is suspected in the British media that Silva wanted to take Sasa Lukic off the field instead.
When the Fulham coach saw that Sessegnons ran a substitute, he grabbed the Englishman on the jersey and wanted to push him back onto the field. The impartial team did not let Sessegnon return to the field.
“Our employees have not sufficiently agreed with the fourth official,” said the head coach after the game. “When I saw that Sessegnon was outside, I tried to correct it. He (Robinson, fourth official, editor’s note) decided not to be correct.”
Minine -long delay
The absurd incident meanwhile triggered a five -minute delay and led referees Michael Oliver to the sidelines to examine the situation.
“The fourth official was confused the whole game in all circumstances,” added Silva.
Thanks to the victory, Bournemouth has passed Fulham in the table and is now in eighth place. Both teams have 48 points, but Bournemouth has the better goal difference.
