‘Robbed tonight by a bad referee’: Harry Kewell’s ACL

Yokohama F.Marinos crushed 5-1 in Asian Champions League finalAustralian manager Kewell blames ‘shocking’ refereeing for loss

A furious Harry Kewell claims his side “got robbed by a bad referee” as his dream of outdoing his Australian predecessors by guiding Yokohama F.Marinos to an Asian Champions League triumph came to a bitter end.

Kewell’s Japanese side were humbled 5-1 by Al-Ain in the showdown in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, condemning them to a 6-3 defeat on aggregate and ending his ambition of guiding them to their first ACL trophy after just four months at the helm.
