Chennaiyin boss Owen Coyle- Once the game restarts, you cannot pull it back

Chennaiyin FC head coach Owen Coyle was pleased with his team's 3-1 win against Kerala Blasters but was unhappy about the refereeing of the game.

In the 25th minute of the game, the referee wrongly awarded a free-kick to Chennaiyin after Anirudh Thapa fouled Seityasen Singh. The Blasters players and staff protested the decision after the hosts went on to score from that free-kick and the referee then chose to overturn his decision.

"Whether that freekick is given rightly or wrongly, once play restarts you cannot pull it back.
