OLIVER IS BRAIN DEAD

Andersen feels Dane over after English ref Michael gives Germans dodgy pen

- PAUL BROWN

ANGRY Joachim Andersen has blasted England's top referee Michael Oliver for being "brain dead".

Denmark crashed out of Euro 2024 to Germany after Andersen had a goal ruled out by semiautomated offside tech.

The Crystal Palace defender then conceded a controversial penalty for handball after VAR Stuart Attwell sent Oliver to his monitor.

Andersen raged: "It's one of the worst refereeing performances I've seen in my career.

"Offside is offside, but giving a handball in a situation like this is absolutely crazy.

"Two years ago we had a referee meeting before the season in the Premier League, where we talked about the fact that something like that can never be judged.

"He is half a metre from me and kicks the ball up onto my hand. I had it in a natural position, so no penalty can ever be awarded.
