Referee will be in charge of Leicester City v Aston Villa after VAR controversy

Posted on August 27, 2024 by admin

Referee David Coote

In the aftermath of the latest VAR controversy, David Coote has been appointed as referee for Aston Villa’s next Premier League match against Leicester City on Saturday.

To begin with Villa’s start to the new campaign has been relatively devoid of contentious decisions. In that time Unai Emery’s men have claimed an important victory away to West Ham before falling at home to Arsenal on Saturday.

The same could have been said for the start of the campaign as a whole with talk currently dominated by transfers. That was at least until Sunday’s early round of fixtures, which saw Bournemouth host Newcastle United.

The Cherries had taken the lead through Marcus Tavernier, only to see their lead wiped away by Anthony Gordon. Dango Outtara then thought his header had taken all three points in the final minutes, however Coote – without being referred to the pitchside monitor – listened to the advice of his video assistant referee Tim Robinson to rule out the goal. The ball had come off the top of attacker’s shoulder.

Reacting on Sky Sports, former official Dermot Gallagher said there was ‘no evidence’ for either responsible to have come to that decision.

Coote then went on to cause further outrage for the hosts by opting not to hand out stronger punishment when Magpies midfielder Joelinton put his arm to the neck of opposition goalkeeper Neto in order to block a counter. A yellow card was given to the Brazilian, Andoni Iraola was in receipt of one too, plus one of his assistants was brandished the red card.
