Premier League official: Luke Shaw's illegal contact with Rutte was minimal, so the goal is valid
6686 Sports, October 26th, in the 9th round of the Premier League, in the 61st minute of the second half of the Manchester United home team's home game against Brighton, Luke Shaw pulled Brighton attacker Rutte to the ground while on guard. Manchester United then counterattacked and scored, leading 3-0. The referee ruled that Anthony Taylor refused to call Luke Shaw for a defensive violation.
The Premier League Competition Center officially responded to this controversial ruling, "Manchester United's goal ruling was confirmed by the intervention of the video referee, and the referee upheld the original decision-it was believed that Luke Shaw's contact with Rueter during the attack was very slight and did not constitute a violation."
