Inter Miami boss Neville: I was wrong to say MLS refs are cheats

Inter Miami boss Phil Neville has admitted he was wrong to accuse MLS referees of cheating and promised that his outburst "was a one-off".

Neville watched his side slip to a fifth successive loss away to the New York Red Bulls last weekend, with a Patryk Klimala effort proving to be the difference between the two sides.

Inter Miami also saw a Gonzalo Higuain chalked off after a VAR review, and their head coach launched an angry rant against the match officials after the game, which earned him a fine from MLS and drew criticism from the Professional Soccer Referees Association.

Neville told reporters after the 1-0 loss to New York: "We got cheated in Portland and we’ve been cheated again.

"I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but something is fundamentally wrong with the way referees treat Inter Miami.
