AFRICA CUP OF NATION viewers have been left in disbelief after Nicolas Pepe was booked for diving after being worn out.
The former Arsenal ahead started for the Ivory Coast towards Senegal in the round of 16 tie.
Habib Diallo put Senegal forward after just four minutes but the Ivorians pushed for a leveller.
They usually have been initially denied the prospect to take action after Pepe was utterly worn out by ex-Chelsea stopper Edouard Mendy.
Replays showed Pepe flicking the ball over Mendy before being taken out off his ft.
Amazingly, the on-field referee failed to provide the stone-wall penalty.
He even BOOKED Pepe for diving – leaving fans in disbelief.
One stated: "How the referee didn't see that as a penalty is worrying."
Another added: "Reserving Pepe for diving there may truly be the worst refereeing choice I've ever seen."
