Just looked up his stats. Scored 15 goals and 8 assist in the league despite only featuring in 19 games after missing 15 games due to a metatarsal fracture.
That's pretty great for a 18 y.o.
Well referee Jonas Eriksson in the Swedish studio was adamant it was a penalty and I fully agree with him.
Sucks for Lovren and Croatia, still the correct call.
It's accidental but it still hits him in the face and prevents him from having an opportunity to head the ball. Clear penalty for me. If it's intentional then it's a red.
Funny story, in hindsight.
My cousin managed to skewer his foot right through on one of those metal pipes that the water shoots through in a fountain when celebrating the bronze medal back in 94.
