Antoine Semenyo scored to help 10-man Bournemouth beat Wolverhampton 1-0 on Wednesday in a Premier League match involving another contentious refereeing decision.
Wolves had a would-be equalizer by Hwang Hee-chan disallowed
in the second half after referee Stuart Attwell adjudged Matheus Cunha to have
fouled Justin Kluivert in an off-the-ball incident in the build-up.
Attwell was the Video Assistant Referee in the spotlight
after denying Nottingham Forest three penalties in their 2-0 loss at Everton on
Sunday. Nottingham questioned his integrity because the club said Attwell is a
fan of Luton, which is battling with Forest to avoid relegation.
Cunha’s foul was not spotted in real time but Attwell opted
to give the foul following advice from VAR Darren England to watch it again on
the pitchside monitor at Molineux.
Semenyo scored from close range in the 37th
minute after Wolves failed to clear.
Attwell showed a straight red card to Bournemouth defender
Milos Kerkez for a foul on Matt Doherty in the 79th minute.
Former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant, who is a longtime
Wolves fan, was in attendance. AP
