The controversy surrounding referee decisions continues to shake the world of football, and this time, the Premier League has decided to take drastic measures by demoting renowned referee Anthony Taylor. This decision comes after an incident in the match between Wolverhampton and Newcastle United, where Taylor awarded a non-existent penalty that directly affected the game's outcome.
The controversial decision occurred when Anthony Taylor penalized Hwang-Hee Chan for a supposed foul on Fabian Schar, which replays showed did not happen. The most surprising aspect of this situation is that the VAR did not intervene to correct the referee's decision, further increasing the outrage and criticism.
