Controversy at The Crucible as Mark Allen gets knocked out of the Betfred.com World Snooker Championship https://www.betfred.com/

The World Number 11 admitted that Cao Yupeng outplayed him for much of the match, but Allen accused the youngster of not admitting a foul at one stage of the match - this is something which Yupeng denies - his response is at the end of the video.

Away from the controversy, it's a massive Crucible debut for Yupeng who faces either Ding Junhui or Ryan Day in the next round.
