Luton boss felt Terriers striker Koroma should have been sent off in 1-1 draw

Hatters chief Nathan Jones felt Huddersfield attacker Josh Koroma should have ‘a hundred per cent’ been sent off during his side's 1-1 draw at the John Smith's Stadium this afternoon.

The Terriers’ leading scorer had already been booked by referee Oliver Langford for a foul on Harry Cornick after 15 minutes, before he slid in recklessly to catch midfielder Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu soon afterwards.

It looked a nailed on yellow, but Langford, who cautioned six players in total during the 90 minutes, five of them from Luton, kept his cards in his pocket on this occasion, with Koroma staying on, and the hosts somehow retaining a full complement of players.

When asked if he should have been on the field, Jones said: “A hundred per cent no, a hundred per cent no.

“It’s a massive, massive decision in the game, he got booked and the second one is a stonewall, unequivocal, unarguable yellow, so he should have been (sent off).

“But that's what happens and that might have changed the game.

"I wouldn't say we'd have gone on and won the game, but that is a decision we were not happy with and we spoke to the ref about it.

“We didn't go in vociferously with him, but we expect him to do that.

“If he hadn't been booked prior to it, it would have been a 100 per cent yellow.

“I’m not sure how much you can comment on referees, the referee was good to be fair, but that was a decision we felt he got wrong.”
