Referee Mateu Lahoz's shameful display during Madrid vs Sevilla

Mateu allowed all manner of fouls by Real Madrid, with a clear one by Morata ignored, which led to a corner that Varane scored from

Sadly referee Mateu Lahoz became the protagonist during Real Madrid's 3-0 win over Sevilla in the Copa del Rey. Los Blancos went in 3-0 at the break, but the unjustifiable decisions of the referee had tipped the balance.

Mateu allowed all manner of fouls by Real Madrid, with a clear one by Morata ignored, which led to a corner that Varane scored the second goal from. 

And then he invented a penalty, where Modric was felled by James Rodriguez's shove on Mercado, with the referee only noticing the Sevilla man bump into the Croatian.

Sevilla's players were left furious with the referee, who booked their players several times.
