Steve Cooper Criticizes Referee After Leicester City’s Defeat to Chelsea
Leicester City manager Steve Cooper expressed frustration with referee Andrew Madley following a controversial 2-1 loss to Chelsea. Cooper believed a penalty should have been awarded for a foul on Stephy Mavididi, which was overlooked, and criticized Madley’s handling of key decisions throughout the match. Despite a late decision in favor of Leicester via VAR, Cooper felt Madley made significant errors and questioned the overall performance of officiating. The Premier League has reported improvements in decision-making accuracy this season compared to the previous one.
