Leeds United boss Uwe Rosler hits out at poor decisions in defeat to Middlesbrough

Leeds United boss Uwe Rosler slams the "poor" decisions of referee Neil Swarbrick in his side's defeat to Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.

Leeds United boss Uwe Rosler has hit out at the decision-making of referee Neil Swarbrick in his side's 3-0 defeat to Middlesbrough.

Strikes from David Nugent and Diego Fabbrini along with an own goal from Giuseppe Bellusci handed the North-East outfit the three points at the Riverside Stadium.

However, Rosler has bemoaned decisions made by Swarbrick when he disallowed Mirco Antenucci's 56th-minute goal and failed to send off Christian Stuani as costly moments in the game for his side.

The German told Sky Sports News: "The referee had a poor day. He got two major decisions wrong. Stuani should not have been on the field and obviously the goal too.

"He [the linesman] told me he had to ask the referee so he wasn't sure. How can you give offside when you're not sure? He has to be 100% sure.

"It was the turning point in the game. You can't even be sure watching on TV."

Leeds are 14th in the Championship following their defeat at the Riverside.
