There were plenty of talking points surrounding the match – the controversial goal from Callum Wilson against Tottenham, the excellent refereeing from Anthony Taylor during Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham and the blunder from Hugo Lloris. The goal was scored by Wilson after a long ball over the top was mishit by Lloris. This article will discuss the key points of the match, whether the goal should have stood or not, and how we can look at the game from a referee’s perspective.
Callum Wilson’s goal against Tottenham
There’s a strong disagreement among Newcastle fans over whether Callum Wilson’s goal against Tottenham should stand. The goal, which was scored from distance, was originally disallowed after Hugo Lloris collided with Wilson. However, VAR found that Hugo Lloris was out of position to stop Wilson.
Fans of Newcastle believe that the goal should have stood despite the controversial VAR call. Newcastle won the game 2-1 and are now in the top four of the Premier League. However, some fans believe the goal should have stood despite Hugo Lloris’s chested through-ball.
Anthony Taylor’s refereeing display in Chelsea’s draw with Tottenham
Anthony Taylor’s refereeing display was one of the talking points of Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham. It was a controversial game, which saw two controversial goals. One of them came from Kalidou Koulibaly, a well-struck shot that should have been given a penalty, while the other came from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. Both goals were controversial, but Taylor waved off one for offside.
Many fans were left fuming following Anthony Taylor’s performance as a referee. The first half saw Chelsea take the lead through Kalidou Koulibaly, but the second half saw Spurs level with two goals from Harry Kane. Taylor’s decision-making was also criticised, with several questionable calls in the build-up to both goals. Chelsea eventually had to settle for a point, but fans vented their frustration on social media koralive.
Graeme Jones’ first match as interim Newcastle manager
After being a coach at Bournemouth last season, Graeme Jones has been a key member of the coaching set-up at Newcastle since mid-season.

Lloris’ blunder against Tottenham
A bizarre mistake by Hugo Lloris has cost Tottenham a point in the Premier League. The French goalkeeper failed to control a long ball from Fabian Schar, allowing Callum Wilson to lob Lloris. Spurs have dropped to third in the table, but Newcastle now lead. The two sides have yet to lose a home game this season.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has labelled the goal as an “unforgivable blunder” by the players. The team made several changes at half-time, with a number of changes in tactic. However, it was not until after the break that Tottenham equalised at Anfield. A point would have been a great result, but despite the setback, Tottenham remain in the hunt for the title.
Arsenal’s win over Southampton
The Tottenham fans were furious with the decision of the referee. The goal was awarded, despite the fact that Wilson had attempted to score from long range and his arm was caught by Hugo Lloris. However, the VAR decision confirmed the on-field decision.
Neither the VAR nor the replays show a clear cut case for the goal, although the ref’s decision should have been upheld. The referee, Stuart Attwell, made the decision after considering the evidence. It took two minutes and 11 seconds to process the footage.
Bukayo Saka’s booking against Southampton
The decision to book Arsenal midfielder Bukayo Saka against Southampton should have stood. Although the diving incident was not deliberate, it was still a foul. The Southampton player attempted to challenge Saka outside the area. The decision could have been red or yellow, but the best decision in both cases would have been to let the game continue.
After the incident, Arsenal felt aggrieved with Rob Jones’ decision. The first-half booking of Bukayo Saka against Southampton was a controversial decision. The Arsenal midfielder merely body checked the Southampton defender, who was not playing the ball.
