Ref Watch: Dermot Gallagher assesses Premier League incidents at Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea and extra | Soccer Information

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher is again to evaluate the controversial moments from the weekend’s motion.

Man Utd 0-3 Tottenham

INCIDENT: Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes was proven a straight crimson card for catching Tottenham’s James Maddison on the decrease leg with a excessive problem, regardless of slipping earlier than he did so.

DERMOT SAYS: “I don’t think the referee can see it. He can’t see the challenge happen. It’s a glancing blow down the leg. He has an optical illusion; a more palatable decision would have been a yellow card.

SUE SMITH SAYS: “By no means a crimson. He slips and touches him along with his heel. There is not any power in it and it is not endangering the opponent. It is undoubtedly not a crimson card. Yellow card at most.”

INCIDENT: Man Utd attraction for a penalty when the ball seems to strike the arm of Cristian Romero within the space, however nothing is given.

DERMOT SAYS: “It hits his chest first. It comes off his chest onto his arm. It’s not a handball and it happens quickly.”

Arsenal 4-2 Leicester

INCIDENT: Gabriel Martinelli places Arsenal in entrance at residence to Leicester and the aim stands, regardless of Leicester feeling they need to have been awarded a free-kick within the build-up.

DERMOT SAYS: “The referee quite clearly says there’s no foul. The game goes on and they score, but it goes on a long time. VAR, in my mind, has no right to go back and re-referee that situation. The on-field referee’s call was no foul and he’s so close.”

INCIDENT: Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori escapes a second reserving for a problem on Leicester’s Facundo Buonanotte. In reality, the latter is proven a yellow card for gesturing for the Italian to be booked.

DERMOT SAYS: “Interesting, this, because this is the third incident we’ve seen like this this season where they’ve come out and said it’s not breaking up a promising attack because Thomas Partey would mop the ball up.

“We noticed it on the opening day of the season with Wes Burns of Ipswich and with Will Hughes for Crystal Palace a number of weeks in the past. They’ve been laborious, quick and constant on this. The one approach you can provide him a second yellow is that if the referee thinks it is a yellow card in its personal proper.”

INCIDENT: Leicester’s Oliver Skipp escapes a reserving, first for a foul on Martinelli and, after being booked for an unrelated incident, escapes a second yellow for a foul on Bukayo Saka.

DERMOT SAYS: “The first one is possibly a yellow, but the referee didn’t give it and we can’t go back and say he should have had a yellow earlier – it’s the other way around. If you’re on a yellow card and that occurs, it can get missed, but it can’t get missed before the second one has happened.

“I do not suppose the second is a yellow card as a result of he [Saka] has pushed the ball so far-off, Skipp will not be breaking apart a promising assault. It is simply unlucky. We’re soccer by way of a microscope a lot now that each single incident is checked out so forensically – do we actually need each problem to be a yellow card?”

Newcastle 1-1 Man Metropolis

INCIDENT: Referee Jarred Gillett awarded a penalty as Man Metropolis goalkeeper Ederson introduced down Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon within the field.

DERMOT SAYS: “I thought penalty. I can’t see what else he can give. I can’t imagine another referee making a different decision but it’s not a red card. I think he catches him with his arm on his left leg.”

SUE SMITH SAYS: “I think it was soft. I don’t think there was much contact. Gordon actually stubs his toe.”

INCIDENT: Man Metropolis’s Kyle Walker challenges Newcastle’s Joelinton and seems to take him down within the field. No penalty follows on this event

DERMOT SAYS: “I just think it’s physical contact. It’s side by side and he’s done enough to ease him out.”

DEAN ASHTON SAYS: “I think side by side in that position, as a defender you want to protect that space, I think you should be allowed to do it.”

Chelsea 4-2 Brighton

INCIDENT: Chelsea are awarded a penalty after Jadon Sancho will get caught in between Brighton’s Carlos Baleba and Georginio Rutter.

DERMOT SAYS: “It’s a clumsy challenge. They don’t get the ball, the referee’s got a great view and it’s a penalty. VAR would never, ever intervene here.”

INCIDENT: Chelsea wished Brighton diminished to 10 gamers when Pervis Estupinan introduced down Noni Madueke as he rampaged ahead. Adam Webster’s place seemingly saved his team-mate from being despatched off.

DERMOT SAYS: “Is it an obvious goalscoring opportunity? I think not; I think it’s possible. And once it’s possible, it can’t be a red card. Is it a yellow card? I think yes because he drags him back, he doesn’t go to trip him; he grabs him with his hands. Estupinan didn’t go with his feet, so you can’t say he went to play the ball.”

Ipswich 2-2 Aston Villa

INCIDENT: Already on a yellow card for a cynical push on Youri Tielemans, Ipswich midfielder Sam Morsy catches Jaden Philogene with a late problem on the highest of the foot and escapes a second reserving.

DERMOT SAYS: “I have a theory on this. He’s lucky to stay on the pitch. A little bit earlier he fouls Tielemans. He could have well got a second yellow for that second challenge.”

Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace

INCIDENT: Everton’s James Tarkowski catches Jean-Philippe Mateta with a agency problem. He’s adjudged to have gotten sufficient of the ball first.

DERMOT SAYS: “I think he is lucky. He jumps in. He does get some of the ball but the fact he jumps in and gets the man. Tough call but for me, it’s a penalty.”

DEAN ASHTON SAYS: “He gets contact on the ball. I think the defender has the right to go and challenge for the ball.”

Wolves 1-2 Liverpool

INCIDENT: Wolves’ Nelson Semedo holds Liverpool’s Diogo Jota within the field leading to a penalty being awarded to Arne Slot’s facet.

DERMOT SAYS: “Why would you do it? It’s just so blatant. The referee is looking straight at it as well. Penalty.”

SUE SMITH SAYS: “You’re giving the ref a decision to make. With two arms on Jota, the referee is always going to give it.”

INCIDENT: Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah additionally appealed for a penalty after showing to be pulled again within the field by Rayan Ait-Nouri.

DERMOT SAYS: “That’s the question: is there enough in it? I think not. We can’t have a situation where there’s going to be no physical contact or it’s not going to be the game we love. He throws his arms in the air. Not for me.”

INCIDENT: VAR appears at Diogo Jota’s problem on Mario Lemina. He is given a yellow card for treading on his ankle from behind.

DERMOT SAYS: “A red card has to mean something, it’s got to be for a dangerous challenge. It’s not a serious challenge. Not a red card.”

DEAN ASHTON SAYS: “I think it’s a red but I think that could break his ankle. It’s a horrible challenge to be on the end of. It’s an accident but you’ve very much endangered you’re opponent with that challenge.”
