OL continues draws, John Textor sees a forgotten penalty against Reims
OL has a string of draws in the league. After being held in check by AJ Auxerre (2-2) and LOSC (1-1), the Lyonnais conceded another draw against Stade de Reims (1-1) at the Auguste-Delaune stadium. Les Gones, although leaders at the break, saw their opponents come back to their level at the start of the second half.
Worse still, they could have regained the advantage several times. Malick Fofana, then Alexandre Lacazette presented themselves in front of the opposing goal without being able to deceive the Reims goalkeeper. Contentious occasions according to John Textorthe president of OL, who believes that a penalty should have been whistled for a clear foul committed on Malick Fofana.
The referee Stéphanie Frappart and VAR were criticized by the Lyon leader, who shared on social networks a diagram illustrating what he considers to be an unsanctioned fault: “TO: contact (red circle) on the posterior side of the left leg of the Lyon player in red with pushing force (red arrow) and break in the running trajectory. Valid penalty not whistled ». This post has since been deleted.
