Juventus players surrounded the referee after Douglas Costa was brought down by Jan Vertonghen inside the box during the two sides' Champions League clash,but the referee waved it away.

The visitors were furious after the referee judged that no foul was committed by the 'Spurs' player.

Douglas Costa managed to get ahead of Belgian defender Jan Vertonghen inside the Tottenham box, and looked to be through on Hugo Lloris' goal. 

However, Vertonghen slid in on Costa, bringing the forward down in the 17th minute of the game. The defender didn't win the ball and, although the contact between the two players seemed light, it looked to be a fairly obvious penalty.
