Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson will be charged over comments made about the penalty awarded against his side during their clash with Cambridge United, Keith Hackett has said.
The former PGMOL chief and ex-FIFA official exclusively told Football Insider that the situation may be complicated by the fact that the 57-year-old’s side are based in Wales.
Wrexham are of course looking to make it three consecutive promotions this season, as they aim to climb out of League One and into the Championship.
However, they were left frustrated in their attempts to further their cause to do that on Tuesday night (1 April) after being held to a 2-2 draw by struggling Cambridge.
Wrexham boss fumes over latest penalty decision
Wrexham benefitted from a controversial penalty call during their win over Exeter City at the weekend, but were on the wrong end of one in this encounter.
With the score having been locked at 1-1 at half time, Cambridge were given an opportunity to go ahead just minutes into the second half when referee Thomas Parsons pointed to the spot.
That came after striker Ryan Loft had gone down theatrically inside the penalty area after a challenge from Wrexham defender Lewis Brunt.
Josh Stokes then converted from the spot to put Cambridge 2-1 up, with Sam Smith equalising just before the hour-mark, which was enough to force both sides to settle for a point.
