The Chief of Referees Mike Riley has apologised to Everton chairman Bill Kenwright and boss Frank Lampard after they were denied a penalty during their league match against manchester city at the weekend.
Dailymail reported that “The Toffees were left furious after their 1-0 defeat at home by Manchester City on Saturday when midfielder Rodri appeared to escape an apparent handball call, with both the on-field officials and VAR deciding not to penalise the infringement.
Reports on Monday claimed Everton lodged a formal complaint, while also asking for an apology for Lampard and his squad in the wake of the controversy.
But now Riley – the general manager of the Professional Game Match Official Limited – has personally called the club to apologise for his organisation’s shortcomings on Merseyside.
