There was a bit of heated discussion after the game between Crystal Palace and Liverpool , which ended with the Reds’ victory. It was when Marc Guehi was pulled down by Virgil van Dijk in the penalty area, but the referee did not award a penalty. Recently, former referee Keith Hackett has come out to express his opinion that it was a shame that the referee and the VAR team made a wrong decision.

“When Marc Guehi tried to make a move into the Liverpool penalty area, Virgil van Dijk blatantly tried to hold him back, and of course the Liverpool defender used both hands to commit a foul. “

Of course, we can’t blame Simon Hooper alone, even though he made the wrong decision in the first place, it’s pathetic that VAR didn’t intervene. “

The main purpose of VAR is to get everything right, not to try to ignore it out of laziness or for some reason we don’t know.”

“To make matters worse, the Premier League have confirmed that VAR reviewed the incident and issued a statement saying ‘there was no pulling action that affected play on the pitch’, which is rubbish because everyone saw it clearly, even though Guehi had to move a bit closer to get the ball. ยูฟ่าเบท “This statement is

only confusing because the video replays clearly show that it was a foul. “

Referees need to get serious about enforcing the rules. Pulling is an offence, it shouldn’t be that hard to understand.”

The referee’s refusal to award a penalty to Crystal Palace meant the game ended in victory for the Reds, sending them top of the table for good until at least the international break, while Palace have fallen into the relegation zone having failed to win a single game this season.
