‘Worst I have ever seen’ – John Terry sticks up for United’s Luke Shaw
When a referee sees fit, players are penalized for having their feet too high.
When Nani was sent off against Real Madrid in 2013, Manchester United famously and ludicrously fell victim to this.
It is still a decision that elicits strong emotions, as it proved to be Sir Alex Ferguson’s final Champions League game.
United defender Luke Shaw was penalized while playing for England against Hungary last night.
Even though he made clear contact with the ball and did not touch the opposing attacker, he was penalized for dangerous play.
Former Manchester United opponent John Terry slammed the rash decision against Shaw.
The ex-Chelsea captain called the decision against Luke Shaw the “worst he’d ever seen.”
Hungary scored a penalty to take the lead, but John Stones equalized before halftime.
The penalty decision cost Hungary the game, as England was unable to score a winner.
Shaw played the entire 90-minute game, which was a good sign given his recent injury.
Shaw pushed forward until the final seconds, forcing a late corner with a cross that resulted in a late chance for substitute Ollie Watkins to nearly score the winner.
Despite the 1-1 tie, England remains in a strong position to win the group and qualify for the 2022 World Cup.
