Violent criticism of the English referee after Sunday’s matches at the end of the fourth round of the “Premier League”.
It seems that the referees’ performance in the English Premier League during the 2023-2024 season will continue to raise controversy, after the arbitration affected the outcome of the Arsenal match against Manchester United, and Liverpool’s confrontation against Aston Villa in the fourth round of the “Premier League”.
Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag came out after his team lost 3-1 to Arsenal, harshly criticizing the VAR referees and stressing that his team had been improperly denied a match-clinching goal.
The Manchester United coach thought that his team had snatched the match points late when Alejandro Garnacho scored a goal, before it was ruled out for offside, so Arsenal scored two goals in stoppage time and achieved the precious victory over its rivals.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Ten Hag struggled to hide his anger, claiming that all the key decisions in the match were against his team.
“Everyone saw the game, that ball was not offside, they saw the wrong angle,” Ten Hag said.
He added, “There was a penalty kick in favor of Rasmus Hollund, and then we conceded a goal despite a foul in favor of Jonny Evans, that is very clear.”
Ten Hag concluded his speech by saying: “Some could say that we should not have conceded a goal after advancing, that’s right, the performance was good, but everything went against us.”
For his part, Sky Sports analyst Ian Wright raised some questions about Liverpool’s opening goal against Aston Villa, which Dominic Suboslay scored just 3 minutes after the whistle.
The Arsenal legend claimed that the goal scored by the Hungarian midfielder should have been disallowed, because he felt that Mohamed Salah was in an offside position and blocked the view of Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, and that Howard Webb, head of the professional refereeing committee in England, might have to apologize to the Villans.
Wright said: โWhat I saw was that Salah obstructed Martinezโs line of sight, so Howard Webb will probably have to make another phone call this week, because that is a clear offside.
