We need a ref on here to confirm or otherwise. What is worse is the free header they got for their second goal. In the old days the Keeper would have come out for those sorts of balls and not stuck on his goal line.
Just to add another bone of contention, I think it was wrong for DA to drop Richards when he saved a pen the week before. IMO.
