NPFL summons Sporting Lagos coach Buter over refereeing criticism
Sporting Lagos head coach Jeffrey Buter has been summoned to appear before the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) disciplinary panel following his strong criticism of match officiating after his side’s goalless draw against Ikorodu City.
