OM were very angry after this tackle by Tariq Lamptey which left Amine Harit with a bleeding ankle.

Olympique de Marseille ends another evening with a bitter taste, joined in the score by Brighton (2-2) after leading by two goals after 20 minutes. But more than the logical penalty awarded to the English at the end of the match, it was a Tariq Lamptey tackle on Amine Harit which angered the Phocaeans.

On this action, the referee did not even call a foul. It is true that Lamptey first cleared the ball but then crushed Harit’s right ankle. There were even fears of another serious injury for the Moroccan international, who finally managed to get up and continue the match. But the VAR did not see fit to alert the match referee to this action, even though a red card could have been issued.

Lamptey did well, and the English full-back was then at the origin of Pascal Gross’s goal (54th), just a few moments after his tackle on Harit, before causing the equalizing penalty by being walked on the foot by Clauss (85th). While Harit showed up in the mixed zone with a bleeding ankle, Jordan Veretout did not hide his anger. “It’s red!” He steps on him. He could break his foot. We are too nice, we get fooled and we say nothing! »railed the former Nantes resident, reports RMC.
