Leroy savages Gayle’s penalty “con” job

Leroy Rosenior tore into sent off Dwight Gale after “conning” a penalty out of Mark Clattenberg at Selhurst Park this afternoon.

And he believes the striker got exactly what he deserved when send off just before half time after bringing down Chiek Kouyate.

ClaretandHugh’s chief analyst Leroy said: “He stuck his foot in exactly the spot he knew Carl was going to kick the ball.

It’s the oldest oldest trick in the book and it was never a penalty in a million years. I’m very surprised that Mark Clatternberg fell for it.

“I was delighted the Hammers won the game – they deserved it all day long – and I can’t say I wasn’t disappointed when Gayle got sent off.

“It was a naughy trick for the penalty and a nasty challenge. He deserved to be sent from the field of play.”
