Watch: Controversial last-minute penalty given against Wexford in Allianz Football League

Wexford travelled to Leitrim for their latest Allianz Football League clash on Sunday…

The biggest talking point of the game came in the dying moments when the referee Mark Dorrian awarded a dubious penalty to Leitrim.

The Leitrim player then stepped up and placed the penalty in the back of the net, with Leitrim finishing the game as one point victors on a score-line of 2-09 to 3-07.

A video of the penalty incident has surfaced online, with former Wexford player Adrian Flynn noting that it was an “absolutely shocking decision that cost Wexford today and potentially a shot at promotion.”

Meanwhile, former Leitrim sharpshooter, stated that he was “delighted for us obviously to get the win today, but on an officiating side of things, this is a shocking call.”
