Latics boss Bruce blasts ref for ‘ruining’ game

WIGAN manager Steve Bruce accused referee Stuart Attwell of ruining the game in his side’s 1-0 defeat at home to West Ham which saw both teams reduced to 10 men.

The Latics boss felt Attwell — the youngest in the Premier League at 26 — was not the required standard for the top flight.

Attwell, who awarded the infamous “ghost goal” in Watford’s game against Reading earlier this season, spent one year in the Football League before being promoted last summer.
