Controversial calls

On 7 July 2021, he was the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for the Euro 2020 semifinal match between England and Denmark. Controversially, he chose to uphold referee Danny Makkelie's decision to award a penalty for a foul on Raheem Sterling of England.[4]

On 26 October 2022 he was the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for the 2022-2023 UEFA Champions League Group stage match between Tottenham Hotspur and Sporting CP, he controversially ruled out Harry Kane’s injury time winner which would have meant Tottenham went through to the round of 16 in the Champions league.
