Spurs manager Ho criticizes WSL referees after penalty decision

Tottenham manager Martin Ho expressed frustration over a penalty decision during a WSL match against Arsenal on October 24. The Gunners secured a 2-1 victory with Alessia Russo's penalty, awarded following a series of deflections involving Spurs players. Ho argued that the call contradicted the league's rules, highlighting the need for better support and training for WSL referees. He noted that standards have declined and emphasized the importance of using full-time officials for high-stakes matches. The lack of VAR and goalline technology in the WSL was also called into question, with calls for improvements in officiating standards.
