Team GB’s men’s hockey team have crashed out of the Olympics on penalties to India – albeit in controversial circumstances. As Team GB goalkeeper Ollie Payne looked at an iPad with notes on it, an official appeared to confiscate the tablet off of him just as India stepped up to take their second penalty. Payne had an iPad taken off him after complaints from IndiaGetty It came after protests from the opposition players before India went on to claim victory despite being a man down for most of the contest. Conor Williamson and Phil Roper failed to convert for Great Britain as India did not miss once, leading them to claim victory 4-2 in the shootout. The two nations had drawn 1-

1-1 in normal time with an incredible performance from Indian goalkeeper PR Sreejesh as they progressed to the semi-finals.

But there will be much talk over the iPad situation and the legality of whether or not they are allowed.

 

Olympics.

She went on to save four penalties as Team GB claimed gold over the Netherlands.

However, Great Britain had more than enough chances to put India away, having had a numerical advantage for 40 minutes after Amit Rohidas was sent off for hitting Will Calnan in the face.

Captain Harmanpreet Singh managed to put India ahead despite being a man down after a fantastic flick from a corner left Payne bamboozled.

 

Lee Morton went on to equalise for Team GB despite Sreejesh saving his initial effort with the Glaswegian squeezing in the rebound before half-time.

In the shootout, Williamson smashed his penalty over the bar before Roper had his effort brilliantly saved by Sreejesh, who was no doubt India's man of the match.

India claimed bronze in Tokyo at the last Olympics and will fancy their chances to potentially go one better this year, should they win their semi-final.

They will now face either the winner between Germany or Argentina on Tuesday.

 

Prior to the tournament getting underway, Team GB had high hopes of going all the way this summer in Paris.

Roy Keane had been an unlikely source of inspiration as captain David Ames aimed to lead his side to a first gold medal in 36 years.
