VERY SAD Antony Taylor News has been announced for Manchester City and Chelsea ahead of Premier League Clash on Sunday
After a brief stint officiating in the Championship, Anthony Taylor is poised to make a return to Premier League action this weekend. The referee’s temporary ‘demotion’ followed a controversial decision in his last Premier League appearance, where he awarded a disputed penalty to Newcastle against Wolves. The penalty call, involving Hwang Hee-chan and Fabian Schar, faced criticism, but VAR upheld Taylor’s decision, despite calls for a personal review.
Taylor’s journey to the Championship included overseeing a match between Preston North End and Coventry City, where another contentious penalty decision fueled fan uproar. Social media humorously speculated about Taylor continuing to ‘demote’ to even lower leagues, with users jokingly predicting League One or lower.
However, Taylor’s return to the Premier League dispels these predictions as he is set to officiate a high-profile clash between Manchester City and Chelsea. Chelsea, without European commitments, aims to capitalize on their form and record consecutive victories against top-six rivals.
During Taylor’s Championship stint, his decision to award Preston a penalty faced scrutiny as replays indicated minimal contact.
Despite online banter suggesting further demotions for Taylor, his upcoming Premier League assignment contradicts these predictions, placing him back in the spotlight for a significant fixture. Chelsea fans will hope that their team’s lack of European obligations aids in securing success against Manchester City.
