Former referee Dermot Gallagher dissects the flashpoints from the latest round of the 2023/24 Premier League season including penalties in the Chelsea-Man City epic and Liverpool's Wataru Endo avoiding a red against Brentford Chelsea 4-4 Manchester CityINCIDENT: Manchester City are awarded a penalty when Marc Cucurella grapples with Erling Haaland in the box.
Correct decision It's not handball, is it? It doesn't strike his hand anywhere at all. He's very clever, he gets his arm out of the way. Since the Diaz one, the VARs have taken time to get it right. People say it took too long, but he wants to be sure.' Liverpool 3-0 Brentford INCIDENT: Liverpool midfielder Wataru Endo catches Christian Norgaard with a heavy sliding tackle. Despite appeals from the visitors, he stays on the pitch.
No issue; the ball did not go out of play. I think he dangles his leg, so he's inviting the referee to make a decision. People say it's soft, but he does catch him and the referee gives a penalty. Dangling the leg was his problem.' INCIDENT: Eze hits the deck again as Branthwaite slides in, but this time there was only a yellow card for simulation. Replays hinted at the faintest of touches but VAR opted not to overrule.
