"I am not afraid to speak the truth. I always respected the work of the referees, I realise they have a difficult job, but every week it is always the same," Fonseca told Sky Sport Italia.Fonseca highlighted the first goal as an example, where former Milan player Charles De Ketelaere leapt high to head the ball in. The visitors, however, voiced their concerns, claiming that De Ketelaere had pushed Theo Hernandez during the jump.
Fonseca admitted that his side also lacked good defending at set plays as Lookman was completely unmarked when he headed in a corner. "I think we deserved more tonight, it was tough to accept conceding two goals from dead ball situations."
