Referee controversy continues in Lazio vs Juventus after drama in Napoli win over Inter

After refereeing controversy in Napoli’s 3-1 win over Inter , tonight’s game between Lazio and Juventus has also had several key incidents that continue to shine negative light on officiating in Serie A .

The first major incident involved a potential second yellow card that should have been shown to Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie .

The American, who was already on a booking after an earlier incident, brought down Matteo Guendouzi in midfield, with the Biancocelesti urging the referee to issue the Juventus man with a red card.

However, Colombo kept his cards in his pocket and decided not to dismiss the Bianconeri midfielder.

The second incident involved a potential penalty for Juventus , after Mario Gila was judged to have stood on the foot of Bianconeri winger Francisco Conceicao.

The Juventus man went down and Gila immediately looked sheepish, anticipating a spot-kick for the visitors.

However, after VAR review, the referee’s on-field decision stood and no penalty was given.
