Burgess: Jota's Squeal May Have Won Penalty...

Burgess claims Sammie Szmodics argued he had no contact with the Portuguese winger, who hurled himself to the

ground to win the penalty kick as he passed the Irish international shortly after halftime.

Referee Tony Harrington pointed to the spot, and VAR confirmed the judgment before Chris Wood slammed the

penalty into the net.

“Szmods didn’t believe he’d caught him. I have not seen it. Burgess told BBC Sport, “He went down in a heap and

made a loud noise and squeal. They sometimes get given because of that.”

“We demonstrated our fitness by playing till the very end. It’s all about improvement and hard effort. I believe we

can continue in our current direction and improve.”
