Controversy surrounds PGMOL's penalty calls after both Arsenal and Chelsea were affected by differing decisions in recent matches.
PGMOL is facing criticism over its decision-making in the Premier League after a pair of controversial penalty calls involving Arsenal and Chelsea . Keith Hackett, a former Premier League referee, pointed out the similarities in contact between a penalty awarded to Brighton against Arsenal and one denied to Chelsea against Crystal Palace on January 4th. Both games ended in 1-1 draws, leaving fans of both teams frustrated with the decisions.
Hackett believes Chelsea is justified in feeling aggrieved about the missed penalty, highlighting the inconsistency in penalty calls within the league. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal dropped points in the title race after a 1-1 draw at AMEX, while Chelsea was also held to a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace after a penalty appeal was turned down. Hackett acknowledges the frustration of Chelsea fans who see a lack of consistency in penalty decisions despite similar levels of contact in both situations. He believes this inconsistency presents a challenge for PGMOL in ensuring consistent decision-making and referee application of the laws of the game
