Been an easy match I think to referee.
Couple of "talking" points.
OFR had to have a word with both managers with 4O because of something that happened on the pitch involving Alioski it seems. He called Ayling (cptn) and Alioski over to have a chat with them, with the cameras thinking it may be for petty arm/hand gesture that a 5 year old normally does. Not condoning Alioski or the instigator (can't remember who) but I think it started with Alioski down "injured" but gets up perfectly healthy when provoked. I always find it amazing how players get up unscathed after rolling around in agony, or laying perfectly still, appearing to be "crying", when camera gets a close up, in pain whilst holding their shin (covered with shin pads).
I'm not saying I would want to see punishment, but COULD there have been any further punishment from OFR for Alioski from a law point of view?
Anyway, another talking point.
Corner awarded at the end.
Yet it was not a corner, or that it shouldn't have been.
How did the assistant miss that? Could understand the OFR missing it, blindside. But seriously, the AR getting it wrong.
But VAR looked at it for a potential penalty - therefore knows full well that it was not a corner.
No penalty. Corner still given (because VAR rules mean that they can not change it).
Now we know the commentators have access to the comms, it has been mentioned in the past. They did not mention any other conversation between officials.
But could it have been suggested that they don't think its a corner and they would find ANY fault to correct it. Except Leeds went short. They were later penalised for offside that was not shown with a replay - odd, because they always show the offside in replays. AR showed movement for corner taker coming back from offside position. Not saying it didn't happen but looks iffy if I'm honest.
But at 4-0, don't think anyone cares lol.
But what if it was a draw, or 1 goal in it? Corner taken, whipped in - goal.
I am not saying I want VAR to re-referee, but I think if after a penalty check, and something like a corner was awarded incorrectly, then it should be corrected. Corners and GKs are not subjective. They are factual. And can lead to a goal being scored.
