Dermot Gallagher dissects the big refereeing flashpoints from the weekend’s Premier League action.
Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle
INCIDENT: Callum Wilson’s opener against Tottenham was allowed after the striker collided with Hugo Lloris moments before he scored. VAR checked the incident and agreed with the referee.
VERDICT: Right decision.
DERMOT SAYS: I think it’s a good goal. For me, he does nothing wrong, he is there and Hugo Lloris goes into him. I’m not sure where Callum Wilson can go. I think the referee is right to give a goal. I don’t think there is enough evidence for the referee to give a foul against Wilson.
Paul Robinson: I think it’s soft from the goalkeeper. Hugo dives, the contact wasn’t enough to send him to the ground. But if you look at Callum Wilson’s arm you see it come round Hugo Lloris. If that is the other way around, if Callum Wilson chests that around Hugo Lloris and Lloris puts his arm around him that’s a penalty in the other direction.
