Refereeing chief Dino Tommasi insists Milan coach Paulo Fonseca was wrong to protest so angrily at the Charles De Ketelaere goal for Atalanta. \u2018It is absolutely a fair goal.\u2019<\/p>\n

There was controversy after Milan\u2019s 2-1 defeat to Atalanta, as coach Fonseca protested furiously in his post-match interviews, claiming there was a \u201cclear foul\u201d from Charles De Ketelaere on Theo Hernandez when heading in the Marten de Roon free kick.<\/p>\n

That was the opening goal and has caused a great deal of debate, with some pundits agreeing it was a foul and others insisting De Ketelaere simply jumped higher and earlier, so inevitably ended up with his hands on Hernandez\u2019s back.<\/p>\n

Considering the amount of attention that incident received, it was inevitable that DAZN\u2019s television segment Open VAR would analyse it in detail, playing the audio of the Video Assistant Referees discussing it.<\/p>\n

They said there was \u201cabsolutely nothing\u201d because De Ketelaere \u201cjumped much earlier\u201d than his marker.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an excellent performance from La Penna, because De Ketelaere jumps earlier than Theo. There is a slight lean on his back, but that is only after and as a result of him jumping first and higher.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe VAR confirms that it is absolutely a fair goal and there is nothing wrong with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former players in the DAZN studio, Massimo Ambrosini, Marco Parolo and Ciro Ferrara, all agreed that Theo Hernandez was too passive and weak when jumping for the ball.<\/p>\n
