Former Premier League referee backs Brentford penalty decision against Leeds United
Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has backed Jeremy Simpson by claiming the official was right to award a penalty in Leeds United's 1-1 draw with Brentford.
Simpson came in for criticism after penalising Leeds goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell for a challenge on Ollie Watkins in the 62nd minute at Elland Road on Saturday.
Peacock-Farrell slid in on Watkins after a defensive error left the Brentford winger alone inside United’s’ area but replays showed Watkins going to ground before Peacock-Farrell made contact with him.
