- January 15, 2018
If I talk too much, I will be summoned by an ethics commission. Something tells us the French Football Federation might have something to say about this little. Leo Dubois' free-kick was nodded in by Sala, but Abdoulaye Toure, who had also attacked the ball, was offside and the goal was ruled out.
