Barcelona defender Sergi Roberto: Ref damaged us for Espanyol draw

Barcelona defender Sergi Roberto hit out at ref Mateu Lahoz after their derby draw with Espanyol.

Lahoz sent two players off and issued 15 yellow cards in the 1-1 draw.

Roberto, on Jordi Alba‘s dismissal, said: “Mateu did not know that he already had a card, he had forgotten…”

Roberto admitted that he “has surprised us” with his decision.

The Barcelona right-back did not question the action for the Espanyol penalty, which earned them a draw: “I could not see it, but I suppose it was,” although he said that the referee “has damaged us a bit.”
