Former referee Dermot Gallagher analyzes key incidents from the weekend’s football action including VAR controversies in the Premier League and late drama in the FA Cup. In the West Ham vs. Aston Villa match a goal by West Ham’s Tomas Soucek was ruled out for handball after a lengthy VAR review.
Other incidents involved disallowed goals for West Ham due to fouls and handball. During the FA Cup match between Manchester United and Liverpool, Amad Diallo was shown a second yellow card for taking off his shirt in celebration despite stating that he had forgotten he was already cautioned.
Gallagher discusses the emotion involved but emphasizes the enforcement of the rule. In other matches, controversies include penalty decisions, disallowed goals and match postponements due to weather conditions. Gallagher provides insights and explanations for each incident highlighting the complexities and challenges faced by referees in making decisions.
