vox888 Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk has taken a sarcastic swipe at referee Felix Zwayer after he left the pitch after the game ended without a handshake. vox888

    The Euro 2024 semi-finals at the BVB Stadion were the “Orange Knights” who took the lead from Shafi Simons’ shot in the 6th minute, but the “Three Lions” were awarded a penalty when Denzel Dumfries held out Harry Kane’s shot, and after a VAR check, the referee blew for a penalty before Kane scored to make it 1-1 in the 18th minute.

    With the game already on the verge of a draw, Ollie Watkins struck in stoppage time to give England the win and set up a final against Spain.

    Asked about Swayer’s performance, Van Dijk told BeIN Sports: “I don’t know what to say. I don’t know if I should say anything about it.”

    “But I think it says it all when the referee leaves the pitch so quickly after the game, there’s no time to shake hands.” ( vox888 )
