Aitor Karanka hits out at match officials after Bournemouth defeat

Aitor Karanka hits out at the match officials for their role in Middlesbrough's 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth.

Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka has hit out at the match officials after his side lost 3-0 to automatic-promotion rivals Bournemouth.

The Cherries went top of the Championship after the win, leapfrogging Boro in the process, but Karanka was left less than impressed with the performance of the match officials at Dean Court.

The Spaniard saw his team concede two penalties and have a goal ruled out for offside, but is convinced that everything was against his side today.

"Today we had all the things against us. The penalties for me are unbelievable," the 41-year-old told Sky Sports News.

"I can understand mistakes because everyone makes mistakes, but I can't understand behaviours. For example, when we had a disallowed goal the linesman was laughing.

"I knew it was going to be a very difficult game, because we played against one of the best teams in the league. It was going to be difficult and then I started to see the mistakes we made, especially in the first half. Then I started to feel the referee's decisions."

The result leaves the Teesside team in third, a point behind Bournemouth in the race for the Championship title.
