The controversial Newcastle vs. Luton goal has been ruled in favor…
For Sky Sports, Dermot Gallagher analyzes contentious Premier League rulings following each round of play. With regard to these instances in the Newcastle United vs. Luton Town game, the previous top referee has officially made his decision. Dermot Gallagher examines the events that transpired at St. James’ Park over the course of ninety-plus minutes.
Dan Burn of Newcastle pushed back Chiedozie Ogbene of Luton. Originally called a foul outside the area, VAR determined the event occurred inside the box and recommended that a penalty be given.
Dermot Gallagher:
“There are times when he pulls him back, and there’s also an ankle clip. “It’s a smart use of VAR, in my opinion, and it also brought attention to something: the referee wasn’t taken to the screen even though he called a foul. “The only thing to decide is if it happened inside or outside of the area.”
Although Carlton Morris accepted the penalty, the referee was not yet ready. Morris was forced to retake the penalty, and he scored.
Dermot Gallagher:
“A Luton player is being spoken to by the referee. “Don’t accept the kick, he says. “He accepts the kick, but he hasn’t raised the alarm. He must thus retake it.
“Luton protested that Ross Barkley had been fouled in the build-up to Newcastle’s equalizer [to make it 4-4].” “From the best vantage point, the referee declares no, and the match continues. “I don’t believe it to be a foul.” Data from BBC Sport:
