Phil Parkinson Voices Frustration Over Penalty Decision in Wrexham’s Defeat to Reading
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson expressed his disappointment following his team's 2-0 defeat against Reading, pinpointing a controversial penalty decision as a significant turning point in the match. The game, which took place at the Select Car Leasing Stadium, saw Reading's Sam Smith and Lewis Wing score, securing the win for the home side.
Parkinson was particularly vocal about the penalty awarded to Reading, describing it as 'ridiculous.' The incident occurred when Wrexham's defense was judged to have committed a foul inside the box, a call that Parkinson felt was unjust and significantly influenced the game's outcome. The match was part of the ongoing football season, with both teams vying for crucial points in their respective campaigns.
Despite the setback, Wrexham remains focused on their upcoming fixtures, with Parkinson rallying his squad to move past this defeat and continue their push in the league standings.
