Video: Referee Guida appears to kick Milan winger Saelemaekers

A video that has gone viral in Italy appears to show referee Marco Guida kicking Milan winger Alexis Saelemaekers while the Belgian was celebrating Mike Maignan’s penalty save.

Milan-Roma referee Guida appeared to kick Rossoneri winger Saelemaekers after Maignan saved a Paulo Dybala penalty in the second half of a Serie A match at San Siro last night.

Saelemaekers couldn’t contain his joy after Maignan’s crucial intervention, but seemed to be kicked on his right leg by the referee.

Former Serie A official Graziano Cesari showed the video on TV last night and said (via Calciomercato.com): “Guida made a serious error, it’s an unacceptable behaviour for a referee.

“He could have booked Saelemaekers, but he didn’t and really crossed the line.”

Ora mi spiegate perché Guida redarguisce Saelemaker che esulta?
Non si può nemmeno più esultare? pic.twitter.com/Z3ATqpdJm3
