Napoli 3-1 Inter Milan – Nerazzurri Furious With Maurizio Mariani’s Assistant After Woeful Display | OneFootball

Inter Milan fumed as Maurizio Mariani’s assistant, Daniele Bindoni, made a huge error in their 3-1 loss to Napoli.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInter1908, Bindoni’s woeful display left the Nerazzurri fuming.

Napoli arrested Inter’s seven-game winning streak in all competitions.

However, another episode of the infamous VAR controversy overshadowed the Partenopei’s triumph.

Indeed, Maurizio Mariani came under fire after awarding a dubious penalty to Antonio Conte’s side midway through the first half.

He sanctioned Henrikh Mkhitaryan for a ‘soft’ foul on Giovanni Di Lorenzo, even though the contact was minimal.

Mariani awarded a penalty to Inter in the second half, but only after receiving a call from the VAR room.

Indeed, his assistant, Bindoni, failed to spot Alessandro Buongiorno’s clear handball.

Despite being only a few meters out, he refused to inform the leading official of an obvious foul play inside the box.
