THE Football Association say they are investigating the performance of referee Steve Cummins at last Saturday’s Oxford United v Barrow game.
The official gave two yellow cards to Barrow’s Nat Kerr without sending him off.
Although he later claimed that he booked Marcus Holness the second time, not Kerr, video replays and a photograph used in the Oxford Mail on Monday show that it was Kerr who was cautioned.
An FA spokesman said: “We are investigating it.
“That might take the form of looking through his report, speaking to other officials or even viewing a DVD of the match.”
United manager Chris Wilder said after his side’s 3-0 win: “I’m just glad that it didn’t cost us.”
