🆘 A truly woeful and highly suspect refereeing performance from Lowe sees a goal awarded despite being delivered from behind the bye-line, an unpunished typically thuggish performance from Joe Jordan and a free kick derived goal that never should have been. To boot Lowe watched on unconcerned as Jordan ruled Evans out for the remainder of the season with a broken nose before the Sheffield official decided the most appropriate reaction was to book Evans for retaliation. Truly shocking. Lowe would never officiate Villa again.
