SOUTHAMPTON, England : Manchester United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said the Premier League might start to resemble rugby rather than football regarding fouls if referees continue to show leniency after his side drew 1-1 at Southampton on Sunday.
"It's a foul, he goes straight through Bruno, with his arm and his hip across him. We can't go from one extreme of volleyball or basketball last season to rugby now," Solskjaer told a news conference.Solskjaer's comments come a day after Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp criticised the refereeing in his side's 2-0 home win over Burnley, likening Sean Dyche's team's physical play to wrestling.
"I understand they're going to let more challenges go so the game keeps flowing which is a good idea, but if there's a foul there's a foul."Southampton boss Ralph Hassenhuettl said he welcomed the approach, adding that English football used to be renowned for its end-to-end style.
