Howard Webb has admitted Nottingham Forest should have been awarded a penalty in this month's controversial 2-0 Premier League defeat to Everton
PGMOL chief Howard Webb has admitted Nottingham Forest should have been awarded a penalty in this month's controversial 2-0 Premier League defeat to Everton.
However, Webb has revealed that he would have "preferred" Taylor to make a call on the incident after heading to the pitch-side monitor and believes if this was the case, a different outcome would have been reached. "You hear him describing two players tussling for the ball. He doesn't see a clear action by Young that he considers to be worthy of intervention, one that reaches the threshold of being very clear.
"The first job of the VAR is to look at the footage available and make the judgement, 'Was the on-field decision clearly wrong?' You could have a situation where the referee describes that the ball has been played by the defender. But actually when the VAR looks at it, sees that's not the case, but it's still not a penalty. It might be that the attacker has simulated, for example.
Owen: "Players make mistakes. Goalkeepers, referees, everyone makes mistakes. But on the referee's side of things, how can you prevent things like this happening in the future? Or do people just have to accept that mistakes will be made?"
