Former referee dermot gallagher has shared his take on the controversial decision to give jürgen klopp’s side possession in the build-up to darwin nez’s winner.
Referee paul tierney made a mistake in the build-up to liverpool’s controversial win against nottingham forest on saturday afternoon, according to former premier league official dermot gallagher.
In the 99th minute, darwin nez came off the bench to head home the only goal of the game at the city ground.
Liverpool was able to clear a forest corner in extra time, but ibrahima konaté suffered a head injury after colliding with goalkeeper caoimhn kelleher.
Much to the dismay of the home support, tierney stopped the game with callum hudson-odoi in possession out wide.
Liverpool took all three points after jürgen klopp’s side took all three points after alexis mac allister’s cross was met by nez.
Tierney made a”incorrect” call, gallagher said of premier league productions, “well, if you watch here, kelleher hits konaté and then, if you run it on, watch the referee.”
“which is when the referee is whistling,” the referee says as you stop the pictures now. When hudson-odoi had the ball, he whistled.
“now, the law states that if he had stopped it when konaté was struck by kelleher, the ball would have to be dropped in the penalty area and dropped to kelleher. Not a problem.
“but the ball has been cleared from the box, paul tierney hadn’t whistled, and he should return the ball to hudson-odoi, who will have it uncontested. Paul tierney didn’t do it, for whatever reason. “it is just an incorrect restart in statute,” the author states.
The fact that liverpool scored is a bit of a red herring, because it was 1 minute 50 seconds, which is the whole game. The ball goes forward, it goes back, goes forward, and even goes out for a throw-in.
For me, it is just an error in statute, and it does not directly correspond to a goal.” “if the game was stopped, the ball was dropped for the defending team goalkeeper in their penalty area.”
The ball was in the penalty area, or the last touch of the ball was in the penalty zone. In all other situations, the referee drops the ball for one player of the team that last touched the ball at the spot where it last touched a player.
” Liverpool moved four points clear at the top of the premier league after defeating title rivals manchester city and arsenal earlier this weekend.
