Former top referee rules on controversial Newcastle v Crystal Palace incident nufc
Dermot Gallagher reviews controversial decisions in the Premier League after each round of games, on behalf of Sky Sports.
Dermot Gallagher looking at a key incident, when the ball did end up in the back of the net but it was disallowed.Early in the second half, a diagonal Kieran Trippier ball towards the left side of the six yard box is headed back across goal by Sven Botman, that header striking Palace defender Mitchell and deflecting into the net. Just a split second before that happens, Willock crashes into Palace keeper Vicente Guaita.
“If you take that in isolation , that’s a foul, no doubt about it, the goalkeeper is going to clear the ball.“What he hasn’t done, if we wind it back and look here , that is where the foul occurs….and because he doesn’t focus on that .“Referees are all about options and I think the best referees don’t close their options.“He can either give a goal, which I think is very risky, because the ball isn’t in the net when Willock collides with the goalkeeper. So I think he can’t do that.
