FANS have slammed referee Stuart Attwell after he delayed Cameron Archer’s penalty.
The match was level at 0-0 when Diogo Dalot chopped Tyler Dibling down in the box.

Cameron Archer was made to wait before missing his penalty[/caption]
After a VAR check, the spot-kick was given and Archer stepped up for the Saints.
The striker put the ball on the spot but was made to wait 51 seconds before being allowed to take it.
Archer’s shot and rebound were brilliantly saved by Onana.
But Southampton fans are fuming at Attwell for making him wait, with one saying: “Why was there such a huge delay before he could take it?
“It’d been checked, no one was in the box? That was ridiculous, seemed to be the ref deliberately waiting.”
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
