Reading boss McDermott boss bemoans crucial offside decision

By

Reading boss Brian McDermott bemoaned the decision to allow Chelsea’s all-important third goal to stand following his team’s 4-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Fernando Torres was in an offside position when he tapped in Ashley Cole’s low cross with 10 minutes remaining.

“We didn’t deserve to lose and I thought we were gong to win it,” said McDemott.

“I’m gutted the linesman has got the decision wrong for the third goal. It’s not a good night for him, and unfortunately that means it’s not a good night for us.

“It was clearly offside, which is really disappointing. People make mistakes and he made one tonight.”
