Rosenior slams referee for red card in Strasbourg defeat

Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior has slammed the referee's decision to send off Ismael Doukoure in Strasbourg's 2-1 defeat to Lyon in Ligue 1. The manager claims that the official "judged based on the injury" to Malick Fofana, who was stretchered off, rather than the tackle.
