ANTOINE GRIEZMANN PUT Atletico Madrid 1-0 up against Leicester City, taking full advantage after a controversial penalty call went in favour of the hosts.
After a rapid break, Griezmann was brought down by Marc Albrighton, but although referee Jonas Eriksson pointed to the spot, replays showed that the first contact appeared to take place outside the box.
Here’s the still from BT Sport:
Former Leicester striker Gary Lineker — not exactly an impartial observer on this occasion, admittedly — was quick to criticise the Swedish ref.
“Stupid challenge, but outside the box,” he tweeted. “Ref 5 yards away. Extraordinary.”
