“The problem with Yates, and I know the kid a little bit, is he is too honest and not smart enough. He should really go into the goalkeeper a bit more.

I think he is thinking ‘I want to score’, and we can’t criticise him for that, but has got to go into the goalkeeper. He has got to be smarter. You would probably see a more experienced player do that.

I think the referee has got it right. It’s so frustrating, because he has been so honest and tried to stay on his feet when he should have been smarter.

But it’s the right decision.”
