From the new year, the dubious decision of referee Anthony Taylor, notorious for his misjudgment, appeared.
Liverpool beat Newcastle United 4-2 in the 20th round of the Premier League (PL) for the 2023-24 season at Anfield in Liverpool, England, at 5 a.m. on the 2nd (Korea time). With the victory, Liverpool ranked first with 45 points and Newcastle remained ninth with 29 points.
The home side Liverpool came out with the 4-3-3 model. Luis Díaz, Darwin Núñez, Mohamed Salah, Curtis Jones, Endo Wataru, Dominique Soboslai, Joe Gomes, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Conate, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson Becker were among the players.
In response, away team Newcastle United also brought up a 4-3-3 formation. Joelinton, Alexander Isaac, Anthony Gordon, Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimarães, Luis Miley, Dan Burn, Sven Boatman, Fabian Cher, Valentino Livramento and Martin Dubravka were among the starters.
It was the first half when Liverpool took the overall lead and launched an attack. In the 11th minute of the first half, Salah and Nuñez penetrated the opponent’s defense with a link-up play, and Nuñez’s shot was continued, but Dubravka saved it. In the 17th minute of the first half, Díaz, who received Nuñez’s pass, shook the net with a left-footed shot, but it was canceled with the judgment that Nuñez’s position was offside.
Newcastle also made intermittent attempts to attack. In the 36th minute of the first half, Gordon, who received the ball from the right side, crossed into the penalty box and Byrne shook Liverpool’s net with a header, but it was canceled due to Isak’s offside. Thus, the first half ended in a 0-0 balance.
Liverpool scored the first goal from the beginning of the second half. In the fourth minute of the second half, Nuñez, who received Díaz’s pass, hit a grounder cross, and Salah pushed it in to make it 1-0. Since then, Nuñez has had several chances to score, but all of them were blocked by goalkeeper saves.
Newcastle balanced the game. In the ninth minute of the second half, Gordon, who caught the ball from the left side, scored a pass to Isak penetrating into the penalty box and finished it perfectly to equalize.
The balance that continued until the middle of the second half, Liverpool eventually took the lead once again. In the 28th minute of the second half, Diogo Jota, who received Salah’s pass, crossed to Jones, who was rushing in, and Jones pushed it in to score. In the 33rd minute of the second half, Salah’s cross was matched by each shot to his foot, completing the score of 3-1.
The score was even widened to two points. Newcastle did not give up easily either. At 36 minutes into the second half, only Boat opened Liverpool’s goal with a header from a corner kick. However, at 38 minutes into the second half, Salah neatly finished the penalty kick (PK) that Jota got, and the game ended in a 4-2 victory for Liverpool.
Aside from the result of the game, there was a tee in the jade. It was referee Taylor who oversaw the game. Referee Taylor did not take out his warning card in the 43rd minute of the first half when Zoellinton hit Soboslai in the shoulder with his fist while he dribbled, and he took out the first warning card in the 21st minute of the second half when Connate made a dangerous tackle. If the first warning came out in the scene of the foul he committed against Soboslai, it could have led to his exit.
Referee Taylor’s warning came from a strange place. At the 45th minute in the first half, when Diaz, who was dissatisfied with the decision, indirectly expressed his dissatisfaction by swinging his arm in the air, he took out a warning card without hesitation.
Referee Taylor is a well-known referee in Korea for ending the match against South Korea and Ghana at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 without fully following the extra time. In addition, the referee declared a PK for a foul on Hwang Hee-chan in the match between Wolverhampton and Newcastle in the 10th round of the PL, but he was ruled a misjudgment and temporarily demoted to the Championship (second division) stage.
