Former RPL referee Stanislav Sukhina declared himself surprised by the referee’s interpretation of the midfielder’s handball episode “Arsenal” Martina Odegaard in the English championship match with “Liverpool” .
The meeting, which took place in December 2023, ended with a score of 1:1.
— I recently saw a fragment of the match “Liverpool” – “Arsenal”. There, Odegaard played the ball with his hand. I don’t understand why VAR didn’t intervene. There was a deliberate movement of the hand towards the ball.
The referee probably thought Odegaard was going down and his hand instinctively knocked the ball away. The VAR referee says, “Well, fuck you, let it not be a penalty.” » An obvious point, but it is also considered gray (later the head of the EPL refereeing body, Howard Webb, admitted that VAR should have awarded a penalty), Sukhina said as quoted by “Championship “.
