I don’t know what the rules are but van Bronckhorst makes big confession

Giovanni van Bronckhorst has admitted that he doesn’t know the rules for awarding penalties but that the one awarded against his side was cheap. 

The Dutchman was being offered all sorts of excuses for his team’s defeat to Union SG when he made the comment. 

Trailing 1-0 at the time the shot from a Union forward was blocked by Ben Davies, as it flew back towards the Union striker the arm of Connor Goldson deflected the ball clear. 

After a four minute delay while the incident was assessed and the referee viewed on a pitch-side screen a penalty was awarded with Jon McLaughlin jumping the wrong way as Union went into a 2-0 lead. 

Van Bronckhorst had nothing to say in May when Goldson got away with one in the Europa League Final against Eintracht Frankfurt.
