He said that the referee made the calls in favour of England when the play was evenly matched, accusing him of seeking clarification from the England side when he is in doubt about a decision.

On the other hand, former Premier League referee, Mark Clattenburg has said that Colombian player Wílmar Barrios should have been sent off for violent conduct after he headbutted Jordan Henderson during the game.

He said that England didn't get justice with the Video Assistant Referee which is suppose to spot such acts.
