Edinson Cavani claims referee should be "put in jail" in fresh World Cup blast

Former Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani has called for referee Daniel Siebert to be "put in jail" after a controversial end to Uruguay's World Cup campaign.

Cavani, who turns 36 in February, was part of the team which beat Ghana in their final group game in Qatar. The 2-0 victory wasn't enough to see Diego Alonso's team through, though, with a late winner for South Korea against Portugal seeing the Asian nation progress on goals scored.

With such fine margins, a number of decisions from the Ghana game took centre-stage. These include Siebert's decision not to award a penalty to Uruguay for what they felt was a foul by Daniel Amartey, and Cavani was one of a number of players to chase referee Siebert down the tunnel after the final whistle blew.
