"Decisions have gone against us, which I think are unacceptable"- Scott on Leeds draw

ALEX Scott was left “very frustrated” by “unacceptable” referee decisions that he believes went against the Cherries on Wednesday night against Leeds.

Bournemouth were forced to settle for a point after two late decisions went against them at the Vitality Stadium.

After Rayan gave them back the lead with five minutes to play, Evanilson raced onto a pinpoint Marcos Senesi pass before finishing well to make it 3-1.

But that goal was chalked off as the forward’s arm was offside, and, just minutes later, Leeds went and scored through Sean Longstaff, when he volleyed home after Scott headed a long throw out to him.

Andoni Iraola felt particularly aggrieved by that goal, as Joel Piroe was clearly in an offside position and the boss felt that the Leeds man impeded keeper Djordje Petrovic from being able to save the shot.

Scott, too, was left frustrated by the end to the game.

He told the Daily Echo: “Decisions have gone against us, which I think are unacceptable.

“Not much we can do about it. I think we played very well against a physical side who are fighting for their lives down the bottom.

“So yeah, there's not a lot we can do about that. We just go again against Palace in a few weeks.”

He continued: “The offside's not offside. Not a lot I can say really. Two decisions that have gone against us and cost us three points, which we needed to fight for what we want to fight for.

“So yeah, there's not a lot we can do about that apart from, I don't know, complain, I guess. But you're going to get nowhere with that anyway.”

Scott was clearly frustrated when the second Leeds goal went in, and said that was down to the team’s poor defending of the situation, before he realised there was an argument for offside.

“[I was] more frustrated that someone wasn't there on the edge there to clear the ball,” he said.

“We have clear plans going into the game defensively for set pieces and he's just run from nowhere and finished it off.

“So that's what I was disappointed at. I didn't know about the offside or any of that during it. Obviously seeing it back now and that's frustrating as well.

“But yeah, we have players that need to do their jobs, and especially in the last minute of the game.”
