Manchester United coach, Jose Mourinho has expressed sympathy for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, after a controversial refereeing decision denied him of ending 2016 as Europe’s top scorer alongside Lionel Messi.
Ibrahimovic thought he had scored his 51st goal of the calender year, after stabbing home Anthony Martial’s cross during their 2-1 win over Middlesbrough on New Year’s Eve.
However, Lee Mason cancelled the goal for dangerous play.
Mason judged that Ibrahimovic’s right foot was too high when he made contact with the ball.
“Obviously Lee Mason will be very disappointed for sure because now he knows (the decision was wrong),” Mourinho said.
“That would have made Zlatan and Messi top scorers in 2016 so it is a decision that stops him being with such an amazing player as Messi, which is quite frustrating.”
