The Reason for Anthony Taylor’s Decision to

Disallow Arsenal’s Late Goal in the Match Against Liverpool Referee Anthony Taylor reportedly believed that Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior had fouled midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai in the lead-up to Gabriel Jesus’ ruled-out winner in their 2-2 stalemate with Premier League title-chasing Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. Consequently, he disallowed the goal. The host team, which included Mikel Merino, Ethan Nwaneri, and Leandro Trossard, was in a state of elation, believing that they had stolen all three points from Liverpool at the final minute. The air of perplexity surrounding Taylor’s decision to blow for a foul even halted Sky Sports’ Peter Drury in his tracks. The reason Taylor halted the match was a foul committed during Kiwior’s in-air tussle with Szoboszlai, as reported by football.london. This differs from the widely held belief that Kai Havertz’s purported handball was the reason the Gunners were awarded a share of the spoils. Kiwior ascended over an anchored Szoboszlai in an effort to secure the ball in midair. The man in black was able to suspend the proceedings and, as a result, rule out Jesus’ objective, despite the fact that the latter remained unmoved while the former collapsed. Havertz and Ibrahima Konate both arose to contend within the penalty area after the Poland international had tipped the ball on. He guided the ball over a flailing Caoimhin Kelleher in a battle that the former appeared to have won, before Jesus added the final touch. View the most recent footage below:

Despite the ball striking Havertz’s arm in the build-up, football.london has disclosed that Taylor, 46, had already made the decision to bring play back due to Kiwior’s previous obstruction on Szoboszlai. This decision has irked Arsenal supporters.Taylor determined that the offender’s attempt to retrieve the ball was a “clear and obvious error” without consulting the VAR room. Consequently, there was no opportunity to reverse his decision upon the whistle blowing. Mike Dean asserted that the outcome could have been either positive or negative following the post-match discussion. “It’s more of a soft foul if anything, to be fair he’s just penalised the Arsenal player,” he pointed out. “For me, it is likely a 50/50 decision.” To be frank, I cannot criticize the referee for having a fine game.
