Premier League match referees do not assign a clear penalty, because of which they can lose their jobs.
Referee team that worked the match the previous day Manchester United – Wolverhamptonis suspended from further work, according to skysports.
Remember that in the first round Manchester United minimally defeated the “wolves” 1:0. However, at the very end of the match, Onana played hard on the exit and knocked out the player Wolverhampton. However, the referee saw no penalty in the episode.
As a result, the chief referee of that match, Simon Hooper, as well as referees Michael Salisbury and Richard West, who worked as VAR and AVAR, were suspended.
So far, they have not received an appointment for the second round match, but because of this, the judiciary may remove them for a longer period of time.
We add that after the match, one of the heads of the Premier League refereeing corps, Jonathan Moss, apologized to Wolves coach O’Neill, who admitted the referee’s mistake.
“Jonathan Moss said it was the cleanest penalty. To give him justice, he apologized. I spent a lot of time with him today to understand the new interpretations, while trying not to get the first yellow of my career. No I can handle it.
But thanks to John: he came out and admitted it was a clear and obvious misconception. He can’t believe the referee didn’t award a penalty on the pitch and he can’t believe VAR didn’t make any changes.
I guess it makes me a little bit harder – after all, now I know I was right. I felt worse because we were going empty-handed. During the match, it was explained to me that the VAR judges did not consider it a clear and obvious error,” O’Neill said of the conversation.
