Espírito Santo: “There is Confusion About What is Allowed at Corners”

West Ham manager Nuno Espírito Santo expressed concern about the ambiguity of the rules regarding duels in the penalty area at corners, after the 2-2 draw with Brighton. His team conceded a goal from a penalty, which resulted from a harsh tackle, and Espírito Santo emphasized that there is confusion about the limit of permissible contact. He called on referees and the governing body to clarify the rules, as similar situations are judged differently in each match. West Ham is in poor form, having gone eight league games without a win in the Premier League.
