He (Robinson) decided not to let us correct it.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The farcical incident sparked a delay and led to referee Michael Oliver coming over to the touchline to see what had happened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Silva was also incensed at the decision not to send\u00a0Marcos Senesi off for a challenge on Joachim Andersen in the first half.
