Sevilla talisman accuses referee of bias during Villarreal defeat – 'We suffered with him'

Sevilla fell to a bitter defeat at Villarreal on Saturday, losing 3-2 at the Ceramica despite leading twice. The winner was scored by Alexander Sorloth in the 97th minute, although there was a fair amount of controversy surrounding it.

Sevilla felt that Sorloth failed Kike Salas in the move to score the winning goal, and were furious that it was not called by the referee Miguel Angel Ortiz Arias or VAR – and these tensions spread once the full-time whistle , such as players and staff. the two teams meet.

Speaking about the controversial goal in stoppage time, Youssef En-Nesyri of Sevilla – who scored twice – accused Ortiz Arias of showing bias in favor of Villarreal, as per ED.

“We also suffered with the referee. If he has to blow the whistle (for fouls), he blows the right whistle, not only in his favor. The last one was a foul, and he has to call it.”

En-Nesyri could risk suspension for these comments, which would be very bad news for Seville. Earlier in the season, Girona's David Lopez was banned for four games for comments he also made about Ortiz Arias.
