Harry Maguire says the Premier League must set the standard for refereeing across the globe, after admitting “ridiculous” penalties are awarded for “absolutely everything these days.”
Maguire and his England team-mates were incensed on Monday night when, after a lengthy VAR check, Manchester City teenager Rico Lewis conceded a penalty in the 1-1 draw with North Macedonia. Lewis was adjudged to have elbowed striker Bojan Miovski in the face, when replays showed it was simply Lewis’s trailing hand.
