Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman said the referee made a mistake in ruling out a goal for his side against France at the European Championship on Friday but added that both sides were happy with a point in their 0-0 Group D draw.
But Koeman said he looked at images of the incident afterward and strongly disagreed with English referee Anthony Taylor.
"Did they need five minutes to check it because it's so difficult? I don't understand this. He's not disturbing the goalkeeper," Koeman added.But the goalless stalemate was a satisfactory outcome for both sides, he said. "But we have four points from two games and played against the big favourites. I would have signed up for that beforehand. I'm happy, I don't know about you," he asked reporters.
"Our goal was valid from what I could see from behind," he said."France had their chances but we also had an opportunity or two on the counter. So a point it is.
