Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s difficult campaign hasn\u2019t just been down to their own shortcomings\u2014many fans feel refereeing decisions have also gone against them.<\/p>\n

Spurs are still waiting for their first Premier League penalty this season, and a series of controversial calls in recent matches has only increased frustration among supporters. One notable incident came when the league\u2019s Key Match Incidents (KMI) panel later admitted that Brian Brobbey should have been sent off during Sunderland\u2019s 1-0 win over Spurs, after pushing Cristian Romero into Anton\u00edn Kinsk\u00fd\u2019s path.<\/p>\n

There was further debate during Tottenham\u2019s tight victory at Molineux, where Wolves midfielder Andr\u00e9 was only shown a yellow card despite what looked like a two-footed challenge on Yves Bissouma.<\/p>\n

Former referee Dermot Gallagher, however, defended Anthony Taylor\u2019s decision, suggesting Andr\u00e9 had slipped and didn\u2019t apply enough force or intent to justify a red card. Speaking to Sky Sports, he maintained the referee made the correct call because the challenge didn\u2019t fully materialize as intended.<\/p>\n

These moments have understandably left Spurs fans feeling frustrated, with some believing officiating has been particularly harsh on their team at a critical point in their relegation fight.<\/p>\n

Their concerns grew even stronger in another fixture, when Everton were not awarded a penalty against West Ham, despite Mateus Fernandes seemingly handling the ball in the box during the Hammers\u2019 2-1 victory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
