Alfred Duncan blasts referee for 'robbery'

Alfred Duncan claims Sassuolo's defeat to AS Roma was decided beforehand Alfred Duncan claims Sassuolo's defeat to AS Roma was decided beforehand

US Sassuolo midfielder Alfred Duncan claims their defeat to AS Roma was decided beforehand after goal-line technology ruled out a potential equaliser by millimetres.

The Neroverdi eventually lost 3-1, but it was only 1-0 when Patrik Schick’s clumsy clearance from a corner bounced off the crossbar and back out.

Goal-line technology did not send out an alert, because there was a millimetre or two still hovering above the line.

When the image went viral, Duncan launched a scathing attack via Twitter.

“Relax, it’s not a goal. Let’s just carry on with the shame of ruining football by deciding who needs to win a game beforehand.”

Duncan later deleted the tweet.
