Liverpool penalty and Hamza Choudhury yellow right decisions – Ref Watch

The late penalty and Hamza Choudhurys yellow card for a tackle on Mohamed Salah of liverpool were equally appropriate conclusions, Dermot Gallagher has said about Ref Watch.
The prior Premier League referee cast his expert eye over the weekends action, in which VAR once again played its role, and gave his comments on some of the big decisions…
INCIDENT: At the games final minutes, Liverpool had been awarded a penalty following Mark Albrighton captured Sadio Mane at the areas foot, sending the forward over. Referee Chris Kavanagh pointed to this place and means of a VAR review supported the decision. Win the match for Liverpool and james Milner stepped up to convert the spot-kick.
DERMOTS VERDICT decision.
DERMOT SAYS:We speak about it due to how Mane went down, he didnt go down too well, however I think its a foul and once you offer a foul, you have to provide a penalty. The difficulty weve got is that we discuss minimal contact and moving down theatricallythat he can do that, but I do think he was fouled.
INCIDENT: Only prior to the punishment, Mohamed Salah was hacked by Leicester midfielder Hamza Choudhury as he drove towards the box. Even though he hasnt suffered any damage, while the area limped off choudhury was given a yellow card.
Klopp said following the game:I stand here and ought to be just happy because of how the boys did it, but I am unable to get over the Choudhury yellow card. He should know. He possibly was unlucky with (Matt) Ritchie, but he has to calm down. You cannot just go for the guy, a yellow card
The VERDICT choice of DERMOT.
DERMOT SAYS:I dont think he even catches him with his boot. Its a yellow-card challenge and he catches him with the side of his leg, if you have a look at it. Hes low, hes come a brief space and Salah is going away from him it is not the rate and intensity of hitting on the bloke straight on, so I think that it is a card.
INCIDENT: There was an additional late VAR call at the London Stadium. The linesman initially ruled it out, although jordan Ayew scored in the 87th minute. The conclusion moved to VAR which showed Martin Kelly – who helped the goal – and Ayew were equally onside, overturning the initial call and awarding Crystal Palace the goal.
DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decision.
DERMOT SAYS:Its an remarkable choice, because there were two. There is the first one where Angelo Ogbonna retains because he heads back it on Martin Kelly onside. Ryan Fredericks retains Jordan Ayew onside.
People say to me regarding the timeframe [of the VAR check], which was just two minutes, but you only have to appear at it to see how tight of a call its and they had to build it up. It is possible to see they have taken time and they have it right. You would rather spend the opportunity to get it than look now and find it ought to have remained disallowed.
INCIDENT: Earlier in the match, Crystal Palace had been awarded a penalty after the ball struck Declan Rices arm . Patrick van Aanholt transformed to equalise for the people.
DERMOTS VERDICT decision.
DERMOT SAYS:It was very close but his [Rices] hands are above his head and at the pre-season advice that is what was mentioned – if you set your hands above your head, it is not a pure place.
It is possible to see that his hands are far above his head when he manages the ball and it had been said that referees would give penalties for that and he also did. It was checked by VAR and given the OK.
INCIDENT: Everton defender Seamus Coleman was sent off after receiving two yellow cards. The very first foul has been a studs-up challenge on the second and Erik Pieters for jumping into Dwight McNeil in a top challenge.
DERMOTS VERDICT: First was a reddish but minute was a yellow.
DERMOT SAYS:I believe the first foul is a red-card offence by itself. If you are training a young referee is if someone overruns the ball which Seamus will – be prepared when he lunges for what could happen.
I have no doubt at all that he had no intention of damaging Pieters but he is tackled together with his wrong foot and caught him around the crab with his claws. Hed send him off, if the referee sees what we have seen. VAR advocated therefore that the matter was dealt with, it didnt meet with the threshold.
For the next, the very fact that he jumps right into McNeil such as he does, the man sees it since he is leaping at him Seamus just accepts it. I believe Seamus is believing,well with what Ive done now and what I did at the first half , I deserve to be sent off. Credit to him, he just walks straight off.
INCIDENT: Towards the end of Newcastles win, Scott McTominay captured Sean Longstaff on the leg with his claws. It led to Mike Dean but it was a yellow card to the Manchester United midfielder.
DERMOTS VERDICT: Correct decision.
DERMOT SAYS:Theres minimal contact, its a brief distance and I really do think he belongs to pull out. He realises how close Sean Longstaff is also and him touches. If he wished to go through him, he could have taken on, but I feel that a yellow card is ideal.
