Thunder Jury: Liverpool suffered two consecutive unfavorable twelve-yard rulings. How do you evaluate it?
6686 Sports News on October 26th. In the 9th round of the Premier League, the Liverpool away team lost 2-3 to Brentford. During the game, two controversial rulings on twelve yards occurred.
First of all, in the 44th minute of the first half, Liverpool forward Gakpo broke into the three-second zone and was knocked down. According to the slow-motion recovery, it can be seen that he was tripped by the opponent's defender Collins while dribbling the ball. However, neither the referee Simon Hooper nor the video referee said anything about this.
The Premier League official gave an explanation for this: The referee's decision not to give Liverpool a twelve-yard penalty was verified and confirmed by the video referee-it was determined that Collins did not violate the rule against Gakpo.
Then in the 60th minute of the second half, Van Dyke kicked the sole of Ouattara's foot with his toe while guarding the edge of the three-second zone, causing the latter to fall to the ground. After listening to the video referee's opinion, the referee directly ruled 12 yards, causing Liverpool to follow the lead 1-3.
It is worth mentioning that the refereeing personnel were adjusted during half-time: due to the original referee Simon Hooper's hamstring injury, fourth official Tim Robinson was appointed as the referee in the second half.
What do you guys think of the above two ruling cases related to twelve codes?
