Ian Wright fumes at referee decision

During Arsenal’s 7-1 win over PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, there were questions about a possible penalty for the North London outfit.

Martin Odegaard went to ground when attempting to get a shot off at goal, with a challenge from behind him not deemed enough to result in a spot kick.

Ian Wright was fuming that the decision wasn’t given, launching into an X-rated response on Wrighty’s House podcast.

He said on the decision: “It’s a penalty because it’s clumsy. It was clumsy running back, Martin Odegaard can’t see him, his legs going to shoot and he’s impeding him. He’s clumsy, he’s running into the back of him, it’s a f—— penalty.”
