Neil Warnock cries 'manslaughter' on Bojan Miovski as Aberdeen FC boss seethes over David Marshall punch

A seething Neil Warnock was left baffled by the failure to award Aberdeen a penalty for a foul on Bojan Miovski - and described Hibs goalkeeper David Marshall's attempt to punch the ball as "manslaughter".

After Nicky Devlin had cancelled Martin Boyle's opener, the Dons started the second half on the front foot and took the lead for the first time in the game through Jamie McGrath's goal, only for Hibees substitute Emiliano Marcondes to come on and earn his side a share of the spoils.

But with the score till at 2-1, a moment of controversy arrived on the hour mark when on-field referee David Munro and the VAR team decided not to point to the spot despite former Scotland goalkeeper Marshall's clash with Aberdeen top goalscorer Miovski. Marshall, 38, did made contact with the ball but his attempted punch also saw him catch Miovski, who then had to be attended to by the some home side's medical team.

Interim boss Warnock was unhappy with VAR''s call to chalk a goal off from Miovski in Wednesday night's entertaining 3-3 draw with Motherwell and once again voiced his frustration with the video technology. Speaking to BBC Sportsound, he said: "I thought that was manslaughter if I am honest. Bojan clearly heads the ball first. David catches some of the ball after but he then poleaxes Bojan.

"Somebody who knows the game of football would have given a penalty. The problem we have is that we have got referees and people on VAR who have never played the game. If that was anywhere else on the pitch it's a booking. I am bemused at that.

"I don't know what they were looking at, like the other night with that offside goal."
