ISL 2017/18: 5 controversial referring decisions that decided fate of the matches

#4 NorthEast's TP Rehenesh gets marching orders

TP Rehenesh was sent off unfairly

Referee's positioning is vital while making a big call and it all looks pretty shabby when one looks at this poor refereeing call by Rowan Arumughan in a game between NorthEast United and Kerala Blasters. The referee decided that goalkeeper TP Rehenesh had fouled Mark Sifneos even though NorthEast had a player behind the keeper hence proving he wasn't the last man, despite which the referee blew his whistle and brandished a straight red card to the baffled stopper. To make matters worse, the referee clearly ignored the fact that Mark Sifneos had got back to his feet and put the ball into the net, hence missing a chance to play the advantage.
