Anderlecht defender Elias Cobbaut insists 'red carded' Doku can't be blamed for defeat to Mechelen

Published on: 18 February 2020

Anderlecht defender Elias Cobbaut has refused to blame their defeat to KV Mechelen to Jeremy Doku's red card. 

The Purple and White outfit were 2-0 losers at KV Mechelen in the Belgian elite division last Saturday.

Anderlecht were in control of the game before Doku was sent off on the stroke of halftime.

Mechelen scored the two goals in the second half when Anderlecht were down with one man.

"I am not going to blame Doku and the rest of the dressing room is not doing that. He has taught us so much in recent weeks. Moreover, he does that tackle after a defensive 40-meter sprint, as an attacker," Cobbaut told Het Laatste News.

The teen sensation will miss the game against KAS Eupen on Sunday.
