PREMIER LEAGUE REFEREE PERFORMANCE REVIEW MATCHWEEK 10
Saturday 30 October
Leicester Metropolis v Arsenal RESULT 0-2
Referee: Michael Oliver. Assistants: Simon Bennett, Dan Robathan. Fourth official: Robert Jones. VAR: Jarred Gillett. Assistant VAR: Sian Massey-Ellis.
Michael Oliver was concerned in an nearly equivalent incident to the Laporte dismissal within the Manchester Metropolis v Crystal Palace recreation the place Leicester Metropolis’s Johnny Evans wrestled Arsenals Aubameyang to the bottom.
The DOGSO standards have been fulfilled and Evans ought to have obtained a purple card. It was for me a uncommon main error by Oliver on this recreation.
Once I coach referees on the appliance of this offence, I ask them to visualise the incident and to remove the participant who dedicated the foul from the scene. Then they need to ask themselves would the offended participant have gained possession of the ball and in a position to have a shot on aim?
That may have been the case, with out query when it got here spherical to the incident with Aubameyang.
Burnley v Brentford RESULT 3-1
Referee: Jonathan Moss. Assistants: Marc Perry, Timothy Wooden. Fourth official: Jeremy Simpson. VAR: Andy Madley. Assistant VAR: Richard West.
Sean Dyche was celebrating his ninth anniversary of managing Burnley – a exceptional statistic
Burnley opened the scoring within the 4th minute by means of Wooden, who left the Brentford defence watching on.
They scored once more however VAR rightly intervened and dominated it out.
Matt Lawton of Burnley headed within the second aim after which Cornet scored to provide the house group a three-nil lead moving into to the halftime break.
Within the second half (which handed with out ant controversy), Brentford scored a comfort aim by means of Ghoddos within the 79th minute.

Salah delivered an exquisite go to Henderson who scored within the 4th minute of the sport. Mane then crossed the ball for Oxlade-Chamberlain to attain by an excellent header.
Mane and Salah had the ball behind the online both facet of halftime, however each have been accurately dominated out after VAR evaluation. One was for handball and the opposite was offside.
This was an pleasurable encounter and Brighton by no means hand over
Brighton scored by means of Mwepus and Trossard and have been accurately denied the winner when Trossard scored in entrance of the Kop, solely to accurately have it dominated out for offside.
Manchester Metropolis v Crystal Palace RESULT 0-2
Referee: Andre Marriner. Assistants: Adrian Holmes, Scott Ledger. Fourth official: Anthony Taylor. VAR: Lee Mason. Assistant VAR: Ian Hussin.
Andre Marriner was in control of the Manchester Metropolis v Crystal Palace encounter. He witnessed the house group’s Aymeric Laporte wrestle Palace’s Wilfried Zaha to the bottom within the forty fifth minute. It was a transparent foul.
The referee (having made a psychological observe of the place of the offence, the motion of Zaha in the direction of aim and on the time of the offence that Zaha was accountable for the ball and no defenders in a position to put in a problem) accurately raised the purple card and despatched Laporte off for the denial of an apparent aim scoring alternative.
This was the proper utility of the legislation and Manchester Metropolis can haven’t any complaints about Marriners resolution.
The legislation states: Denying a aim or an apparent goal-scoring alternative
– The place a participant denies the opposing group a aim or an apparent goal-scoring alternative by a handball offence, the participant is distributed off wherever the offence happens.
– The place a participant commits an offence in opposition to an opponent inside their very own penalty space which denies an opponent an apparent goal-scoring alternative and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence was an try and play the ball; in all different circumstances (e.g., holding, pulling, pushing, no risk to play the ball and many others.) the offending participant should be despatched off.
– A participant, sent-off participant, substitute or substituted participant who enters the sphere of play with out the required referee’s permission and interferes with play or an opponent and denies the opposing group a aim or an apparent goal-scoring alternative is responsible of a sending-off offence.
The next should be thought-about:
• distance between the offence and the aim
• common course of the play
• chance of maintaining or gaining management of the ball
• location and variety of defenders
The Manchester Metropolis supervisor approached fourth official Anthony Taylor clearly involved about what he thought-about to be Crystal Palace time-wasting.
TIMEKEEPING
Regulation 5 – The referee acts as timekeeper
Newcastle United v Chelsea RESULT 0-3
Referee: Paul Tierney. Assistants: Constantine Hatzidakis, Neil Davies. Fourth official: Martin Atkinson. VAR: David Coote. Assistant VAR: Nick Hopton.
Paul Tierney had a cushty afternoon, sustaining a low profile and delivering one other correct efficiency.
Chelsea accurately had a aim dominated out for offside, however then went on to dominate play, scoring three objectives by means of James (twice) after which Jorginho from the penalty mark.
Watford v Southampton RESULT 0-1
Referee: Peter Bankes. Assistants: Peter Kirkup, James Mainwaring. Fourth official: Keith Stroud. VAR: Graham Scott. Assistant VAR: Adam Nunn.
This was a detailed encounter, with new supervisor Claudio Ranieri starting to make his mark on the Watford type of play.
Nevertheless, the distinction right here was a terrific aim scored by Chez Adams which gave Southampton their first away win.
Watford thought that they might have scored however the Purpose Line Expertise kicked in and rightly decided that the entire of the ball had not crossed the road.
Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United RESULT 0-3
Referee: Stuart Attwell. Assistants: Harry Lennard, Simon Lengthy. Fourth official: Simon Hooper. VAR: Darren England. Assistant VAR: Stuart Burt
This was a must-win recreation for Manchester United they usually should have breathed a sigh of reduction after Tottenham thought that that they had opened the scoring, solely to have it accurately dominated out for offside.
Then up popped Ronaldo to attain the opening aim for Manchester United.

Cavani scored United’s second aim after which Rashford scored their third after a VAR verify.
Referee Attwell delivered one other good efficiency and is now a longtime.
Sunday 31 October
Norwich Metropolis v Leeds United RESULT 1-2
Referee: Anthony Taylor. Assistants: Gary Beswick, Adam Nunn. Fourth official: Kevin Pal. VAR: Darren England. Assistant VAR: Simon Lengthy.
The primary half was frankly poor viewing and to his credit score referee Taylor remained focussed and accountable for proceedings.
Within the 56th minute, Raphinha opened the scoring for Leeds. Norwich equalised Two minutes later by means of defender Andrew Omobamidele, who headed the aim from a nook kick.
Leeds United scored the successful aim by means of Rodrigo within the sixtieth minute, leaving Norwich staring relegation within the face so early within the season. They’ve solely gained two factors from their first ten video games.
Aston Villa v West Ham United RESULT 1-4
Referee: Chris Kavanagh. Assistants: Dan Cook dinner, Nick Hopton. Fourth official: David Coote. VAR: Stuart Attwell. Assistant VAR: Harry Lennard.
The large talking-point for me on this recreation was how was the forearm smash by Aston Villa’s quantity 30 into the face of West Ham United’s Fornals was missed by each the referee and VAR Stuart Attwell. This was a violent act by Hause and he ought to have been dismissed.
This incident passed off within the build-up previous to the award of a free kick and the issuing of a yellow card to Aston Villa’s Konsa, judged to have dedicated a foul on the sting of his personal penalty space.
Kavanagh issued a yellow card and I imagine that with the incident extensive of aim and the ball shifting away from aim that call I might have supported. His resolution to challenge a yellow card was not a transparent and apparent error so VAR shouldn’t have intervened.
Nevertheless, we all know that when a referee is requested to evaluation the monitor invariably, they alter their resolution. Hause ought to have been the one strolling to the tunnel and never Konsa.
