BOURNEMOUTH manager Jason Tindall was furious with referee David Webb for sending off midfielder Jefferson Lerma in the home defeat to Luton.
The Hatters earned their third win in four games thanks to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s goal midway through the second half after Lerma had been sent off in the 25th minute for leading with an arm in an aerial challenge with Tom Lockyer, which left the Luton defender with a cut that required heavy bandaging.
“I thought it was an outrageous decision,” said Tindall. “I think everyone who saw it would agree with that. I can’t believe the referee would come to that conclusion.
“I thought we were doing well until that point and that we were by far the better team and we would have won that comfortably.
“It was a pivotal moment. Jeff s gone up for a header, one of their lads has knocked him off balance and he caught him with his trailing arm.
“When a decision is that blatantly wrong, you can’t help but be angry and even at halftime the lads couldn’t believe the decision.”
