Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher analyzes the controversial red cards shown to Aston Villa's Jhon Duran and Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes during the Boxing Day Premier League matches.
Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher assesses the controversial moments from the Boxing Day action, including the red card s for Aston Villa's Jhon Duran and Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes. Newcastle 3-0 Aston Villa\INCIDENT: Duran was sent off for appearing to kick out at Newcastle's Fabian Schar. It took referee Anthony Taylor 30 seconds to show Duran a red card following the incident.
Villa boss Unai Emery revealed after the game that the club will appeal Duran's three-match ban.\DERMOT SAYS: I thought it was a red card. People say he's off balance because Schar's pulling him and that there's always going to be contact, but I thought he could avoid that. That's what Anthony Taylor has seen. What I like about it is that Taylor tracks it, sees what has happened, and takes his time. I don't have a problem with that as the ball is dead. He's probably got some input from the assistants and fourth official. He's taken his time, it's not rash. His right leg changes direction. That's what Anthony's seen. I can see that. The assistant said he'd seen it too. The decision was made in real time, nobody went to a monitor like a CSI breakdown. The process was about human beings making the right decision. The VAR looked at it. He felt the referee got it right. Let's say he sends him to the screen, and when you see it in slow motion, it looks really bad. So if Taylor is sent there, I'm convinced he still would have said it's a red card. Emery kept alluding to a three-match ban. Is a three-match ban too much for that? That may be a reason why he's so upset with it. They would have to prove the referee has made a clear and obvious error - that makes the appeal pretty difficult.
