The Premier League has appointed Michael Oliver, England’s No. 1 referee, to continue working immediately for 2 games this weekend, despite the drama in the Merseyside Derby.
Liverpool fans were furious with Oliver’s multiple decisions during the game at Goodison Park, including the confusing sending off of Arne Slot at the end of the game.
However, despite the drama in the middle of the week, the 39-year-old referee was still trusted to continue his duties comfortably. In the
first VAR room, Oliver will sit and watch the game between Brighton and Chelsea on Friday night, before taking on the same role in Aston Villa’s game against Ipswich Town on Saturday.
As might’ve been expected, there was a lot of tension before and during the game, and also a lot of needle between the sides given what was at stake.
Had the Reds won a game that they were leading 2-1 at the conclusion of the 90 minutes, then Arne Slot’s side would’ve gone nine points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
Everton, under David Moyes, โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที have picked up somewhat since the Sean Dyche era, but they’re not out of the woods yet in terms of relegation.
That means “Oliver” will not have to run hard on the field this weekend, which is uncertain whether it is a punishment or to reduce the drama first.
