This Saturday evening, Vincent Kompany was at the forefront of a historic moment for refereeing in the Premier League. The Burnley coach congratulated Rebecca Welsh, the first woman to officiate in an English elite match.
”I would like to congratulate her because in addition to her performance, it is a great moment in the Premier League. We can say that this is an important moment, and I hope there will be many more. The best thing to do will always be to judge people on their merits, but there has to be a first. Bravo, I am happy to have participated in this moment”, congratulated the Belgian technician.
But unlike him, Fulham coach Marco Silva only said two short words at the end of the match to qualify Rebecca Welsh’s performance: “Normal performance”. A translation is not necessary here… Especially since Fulham lost 0-2, which perhaps explains the bitterness of the Portuguese coach.
