Bournemouth were left fuming at being denied a penalty during their 0-0 draw with Brentford. The home side were left perplexed by rookie referee Thomas Bramall ruling out a spot-kick despite being ordered to the pitchside monitors by VAR official John Brooks.
Bournemouth felt frustrated to see Kristoffer Ajer’s wayward sliding challenge on Jordan Zemura go unpunished. Bramall took charge in the Premier League for just the second time, and his move to stick with his original onfield decision of no penalty was met with clear derision by the home fans.
Bournemouth’s ire grew still further at the final whistle, as Bramall gave no second thought to the ball striking Mathias Jensen’s arm in the area.
The last-gasp skirmish should not have yielded a penalty, but Bramall struggled to control the situation as players surrounded him.
