Tottenham manager Martin Ho says Women's Super League referees "need more support" as he vented his frustration over a controversial penalty decision in their derby defeat by Arsenal.
A 2-1 win for the Gunners at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday was settled by Alessia Russo's spot-kick in the 56th minute.
Referee Phoebe Cross awarded the decision after Lisa Baum's shot bounced off the post and Cathinka Tandberg's clearance hit Spurs team-mate Ella Morris' outstretched hand.
According to the laws, if the ball hits a hand after it was played by a team-mate, a penalty should not be awarded.
Ho said: "My interpretation of the rule is if your team-mate hits it and your team-mate is one yard away, time and distance is taken into account and it's not a penalty.
"That's what we were told at the start of the season in the referee's meeting. I asked the question, 'how is it [a penalty] from that distance?' They couldn't give me an answer on the pitch.
"I said I would come and speak to them after the game because I want to understand it, I want to understand what they're seeing. Then I can accept a decision that is there. When that decides a game, it's frustrating, because it's not within the laws of the game."
