In a league blessed with quite a few merde referees he is laying a strong claim to be the merdest of them all.

He did not show two clear yellows in the first half for vicious, potentially injury-causing challenges (one to the guy who got a yellow later whilst injuring himself, he got the Mustafi penalty wrong and he got the Xhaka sending-off wrong. Xhaka's offence was an orange one.

Fortunately he also got the Kos penalty wrong - he was offside - but he did us more damage than good and could have cost us two cheap points,
