In a narrow 2-1 defeat to Chelsea in the Women's Super League, Manchester City's manager Nick Cushing expressed frustration over a questionable refereeing decision. Jess Park's goal was disallowed after the referee, Kirsty Dowle, halted play for a foul on Kerolin, denying City a second goal. Following the match, Cushing revealed that officials acknowledged their mistake in not allowing play to continue. Chelsea's coach, Sonia Bompastor, understood Cushing's frustrations while commending her team's strong performance in the second half, resulting in a late winner from Erin Cuthbert.
"The officials admit they got it wrong and should have played on," Cushing said after the match.
"From my opinion, the referee whistled since the beginning, even when the ball was not going into the goal so I think she made the right decision..." - Bompastor
"The frustrating thing is after the [Laura] Coombs foul earlier on, because we were so dangerous on the counter attack when the whistle was blown on Coombs I asked her to play advantage.
"...it’s difficult after when you see the result. So I can understand their frustration." - Bompastor
