Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock claims that referee Simon Hooper admitted he had made a mistake at a crucial point in the match following their 5-1 defeat at the hands of Watford on Friday.
A hat-trick from
Watford
"VAR would have solved that in 30 seconds, everybody on the pitch knew it was a penalty.
"Troy [Deeney] said it was a nailed-on penalty, so too [Adrian] Mariappa and all their staff on the touchline. I like Simon as a referee and he's not done it on purpose, he's upset himself about the situation."
Deulofeu's hat-trick against Cardiff City has made him the third Premier League player to ever score three in a league game on a Friday.
