Lille President Létang’ Furious After Penalty Snub in Europa League




Lille President Létang vents fury over suspected penalty

Lille President, Olivier Létang, did not hold back his frustration following his team’s Europa League game against PAOK on Thursday night. The French club thought they had been awarded a penalty for a shirt pull on striker Matías Fernández-Pardo before half-time, but after consulting the VAR, the referee waved play on. Létang was livid and made sure his displeasure was known, exclaining, “I contacted Ceferin to come back to this situation.”

Double penalty for Lille

The incident came as a double blow to Lille, who were already trailing 2-0 at the time. But it wasn’t the end of their frustrations. Later in the game, Lille scored a third goal which was disallowed, prompting another heated exchange in the tunnel.
