A big dust-up arose in Italy because of the disputed penalty in the match between Milan and Chelsea. At ‘the Boot’, many condemned the decision of the main referee of the match, Daniel Siebert, to exclude Fikayo Tomori and award a penalty to the London team, as disastrous, and one of the two actors of the match – Mason Mount – gave his opinion on the controversial moment.The Chelsea player, who was fouled for the penalty to be called, spoke for the club’s website the day after the victory at San Siro, and among other things, he referred to the detail from the 18th minute.”He’s obviously my mate, I’ve known Fik for a very long time and I felt for him in that situation, I was gutted for him. I don’t think it was a sending off. Was it a penalty? Maybe yes. I’m an honest player and I want to try to score a goal and he pulled me back a little bit but I feel for him for that decision. It’s a tough one.” Mount said honestly, and then described the situation in more detail from his point of view.##NAJAVA_MECA_6715881##”I felt him trying to pull me back but I was running to goal so I wasn’t going to go down and I felt like I could still have an opportunity to score. So I carried on going, didn’t score and then obviously the ref blew up and gave a pen straight away. I was probably a bit surprised at the time because I’ve still gone through and had a shot”The Englishman points out that he regrets that Fikayo Tomori, his former teammate from Stamford Bridge, was sent off.”It was hard to see him get sent off. You still want to be playing 11 v 11 and going at it with two good teams, so it maybe ruined the game a bit. It was massive for us and we obviously wanted to win the game, which we did, but I still feel for Fik a lot.” Mount said sincerely.This is a poor take. Where is the dragging? It’s clear Tomori’s contact does nothing to him. Mount is even pulling his hand back to keep Tomori away and you’re saying dragging like Generator.
