Peter Schmeichel angrily speaks out after big ‘penalty mistake’

A father speaks out in support of his son

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has expressed his discontent with last nights result. England beat Denmark 2-1 last night, with the first point being an own-goal and the second happening under questionable circumstances. We are not saying that it was rigged like a certain Italian newspaper, but the conditions under which it occurred were not exactly the most clean-cut. https://twitter.com/Football__Tweet/status/1412743700648628235 Referee Danny Makkelie gave England a penalty after Raheem Sterling was thrown violently to the ground within the box. For those of you who didn't pick up on the sarcasm there, it did appear as if Sterling tripped slightly and hit the ground. Hardly a cause for a penalty.

As the father of Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, he could be a little biased. However, he spoke to beIN SPORTS about his feelings.
