- Eberichi Ese scores a stunning free-kick against Brentford but it is ruled out by the referee.
- The referee admitted that he made a mistake.
- The result ended with a 2-1 victory for Brentford over Crystal Palace.
It was yet another time that a Premier League referee made a wrong decision that led to a different result. This time it was Samuel Barrot who refereed Brentford vs Crystal Palace on Sunday night. The mistake made a mistake that Barrot had to personally apologise to the players after the game.
The issue arose in the 26th minute of the game, when Eberichi Eze scored a beautiful free kick from over 30 yards into the goal, but the referee, Barrot, blew his whistle to stop the ยูฟ่าเบท https://ufabet999.app game while the ball was in mid-air because he thought there was a foul. As a result, VAR could not intervene in the ball because the whistle sounded before the ball crossed the goal line. When reviewing the incident, the weight of the incident leaned more towards not being a foul, and Eze came out to give an interview that Barrot came to admit his mistake after the game.
“He said he blew the whistle too early and admitted it was his fault. It could have changed the result, but we have to accept it. We had other chances that could have been goals, so we can’t blame it on this one. We played well and if we can continue like this, it will be good.”
The match ended with a 2-1 victory for the home side, with Brentford’s first goal coming just three minutes after the incident, with many Crystal Palace fans unhappy that Eze’s shot was disallowed and heavily criticising referee Barrot, who said that if the goal had been counted it could have changed the outcome of the game.
