Manchester City chief Nick Cushing claimed that officials admitted that they had “made a mistake” to prevent the goal of Jess Park, which is controversial in their defeat of 2-1-1 WSL of Chelsea.
Late in the first half, the midfielder wounded home what she thought was the second goal of Man City. However, the judge blowing a free kick whistle before the ball hit the net, which means that her strike was not given – leaving Cushing on her knees in excavation.
“There’s a little frustration throughout the game for me,” he said BBC Sport. “At halftime we should enter 2-0. Then I think their first goal is in a tight offside.
“I’m sure it will recognize it as a moment that they should have played [carry on] And in the end, it’s a moment in a game that has proven the key to us.
“A few minutes before that there was a foul on Laura Coombs and we had a moment against the attack – our threat came from Kerolina and Jess Park in those moments and I asked to play the game.
“The fourth official said he would convey it to the judge. Two minutes later, we score a goal immediately after the offense and we didn’t get the advantage.”
At his press conference, Cushing said that the officers “admitted that they had made a mistake and that they needed to play on.”
Sky Sports News has approached Pgmol for comment.
The city would be a cherry at the top of the top opening 45 minutes in the third meeting in eight days between the two sides. Kerolin also led the play and after missing two fine chances, he opened the Home Man City opener just after half an hour for his first WSL goal.
But WSL’s leaders returned to the game almost immediately after the break. Aggie Bever-Jones has made a look with a fine diagonal ending, and the blues could get away from sight if the second half was not inspired by Khiara Keating.
Man City goalkeeper – who had a stake in distress this season this season – made a number of sublime savings, but finally beaten up on a 90 -minute shot while Erin Cuthbert went to Chelsea to win.
It was a well -deserved goal for Blues, dominating after halftime, but Man City also had his chance of establishing stronger leadership. However, ultimately it may have cost the decision to collide the second that may have cost them.
The victory sees Chelsea re-establishing his eight-point lead at that top of WSL. This is the second time that they have won Man City in their current run of four consecutive fixture, and they will hope that the momentum will be able to take the Champions League to Stamford Bridge on Thursday, wanting to abolish a 2-0 deficit.
Cushing’s side loses the ground again in the race for the first three WSL. They are seven points, after Manchester United defeated Aston Villa later on Sunday.
Cushing: We have a ghost to continue
Temporary coach Man City Nick Cushing to BBC Sport on forbidden the goal:
“You also look at the injuries we have and the solutions we have to find. You have seen one team that brings its key players and the other who brings them. This is a problem that we will have to find solutions.
“There is still football … We believe we can win in football games and that we can put points on the board.
“Today I am really proud of our performance. You can see that we did not play our fluid football in the second half, but we defended the Khiara firmly [Keating] was great. For me, it shows us that we have a spirit to continue. “
Bompastor: I was frustrated at halftime
Chelsea’s main coach Sonia Bompastor to BBC Sport: “It was a difficult game for us. We expected it because we knew how good the city was and they showed it again with a great performance.
“We are better in the second half, but we knew we wanted to win, we would have to invest everything in everything. Three points are really important.
“I was a bit frustrated [at half-time]. We had a game plan, and sometimes I think we made it right. This happens sometimes. At halftime, my job is to ensure that players understand my expectations and what they need to do in the second half.
“We did a lot better, we had 24 goals in the goal in the second half, so they just need my players to realize that they should start from the beginning.
“Sometimes you have to earn opposition. As you can see from the last games, they have a lot of talent in the team and sometimes make things difficult for us.”
