A game not to remember

Referee and ars

Mr. Karasev is yet young and and has yet to shape and brush up his performance. I hadn't seen him before, and it could be that on the night he decided "to be a Roman" thus letting some fierce challenges to go unpunished while the culprit got the upper hand and the undue advantage. Obviously this "English style" went into the hands of Spurs (for example, 14', 17'). On the other hand, I liked his decision not to book players who went on and even kicked the ball (not maliciously) after they were whistled against (6', 20'). The ars did a reasonable job. Mr. Averianov was better than his counterpart, Mr. Layushkin as he was more alert and less errors-prone.
