Should Erling Haaland and Fabian Schär be sent off in their respective games this weekend? Dermot Gallagher discusses these and more in Ref Watch.
Man City 4-2 Crystal Palace.
incident: Erling Haaland caught Joachim Andersen’s head in his high boot and both went for the ball. The Man City striker showed no cards.
Dermot’s Verdict: right decision.
Dermot said: “I don’t think it’s a red card. It’s a real attempt by a player to play the ball. Andersen throws himself in and is allowed to do it, but I don’t think Haaland is aware of him. His Boots are up
“If the referee shows a free kick and a yellow card, that’s enough. Reckless, but certainly not dangerous. He didn’t hurt a player.”

What is the difference between this incident and a similar incident between Sadio Mane and Ederson in 2017 where Mane was sent off?
“One of the differences is the speed and intensity with which Manet and Ederson run towards each other. Now it seems that Andersen has entered Harland’s space. I don’t know. Manet’ I knew Ederson was there.
“He also chose to wear boots for that ball, but Haaland didn’t know a defender was coming.
incident: Crystal Palace thought they had scored their third goal against Man City. When Ederson released the ball, Odsonne Edouard put his foot in front of it and watched it roll in the other direction. Jordan Ayew scored a goal, but the goal was not given.
Crystal Palace took a 2-0 lead at Manchester City on Saturday
Dermot’s verdict: correct judgment
Dermot said: “In this situation, the goalkeeper is almost a protected species. You are not allowed to challenge him while releasing the ball by kicking or rolling it.”
“When he is about to release the ball, Eduardo is invading his space. When Eduardo tried to throw the ball, his leg was out. He couldn’t.
“This is when Thierry Henry stole the ball from Jussi Jaaskelainen at Bolton, when he tried to kick the ball, when Henry did the same thing. The law was changed to give freedom of movement.”

incident: Tottenham were awarded a penalty when Steve Cook hit the ball with a raised hand inside the 6-yard box. Harry Kane was behind him, waiting for a header. Cook was shown a yellow card instead of a red card.

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher believes Steve Cook made the right decision to get a yellow card in hand against Tottenham
Dermot said: “It’s definitely a penalty, it’s definitely a handball. He punches the ball without knowing where Kane is, but the ball is so high that Kane is confident he’s in position to head it. It feels like it’s not ‘net.
“So they issued a yellow card instead of a red card, but I think it’s a fair cry.
“They take it into account [a possible push from Kane]The thing to keep in mind is that football is a physical contact game and he has to challenge the ball. They definitely make contact, but that didn’t affect Cook touching that ball. “
Chelsea 2-1 Leicester.
Conor Gallagher was sent off against Leicester at the weekend
incident: Conor Gallagher was sent off after receiving two cautions in five minutes. The first was Travel or Keenan Dewsbury Hall before being pulled over by Harvey Barnes. He will miss this weekend’s game against Southampton.
Dermot’s verdict: right decision.
Dermot said: “He tried to pull it out after the damage was done. His face said it all. It was like ‘I had to do it’. It was a yellow card and he was already four or five minutes ago. I think everyone knew he was going.”
“The referee thought the first one was yellow. This is a subjective decision difficulty. [the referee] He went to grab him and thought he tripped, so he got a yellow card and it’s the referee’s choice.
“We are talking about the level of acceptance, but the referee might have given him a warning on another day, but that referee gave him a card. indicates that you must attach

“The next attack a few minutes later was unwise and to be fair to Conor, by the look in his face, he knew what he had done.”
incident: Leicester ruled out Daniel Amarti’s header after Harvey Barnes fouled Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. The Leicester forward had his arm around Mendy’s neck in the build-up.
Dermot’s verdict: Good place from concerned.
Dermot said: “It’s good from the referee. I don’t know if there was input from the assistants, but [but] If so, it’s great teamwork. At first glance it doesn’t look foul, but from the other side Mendy has distinct arms around him.
“It’s clearly a foul. It’s the right call whether the referee decides it himself or the team receives it.”

incident: Jamie Sands fouled Ross County’s Jordy Hiura as he was driving towards the area when the match went goalless and he had already been given a yellow card. However, there was no further punishment from the umpire, and Ross County manager Malkey McKay said it was “inexplicable” that the Suns were not ejected.
Dermot’s verdict: Should be a red card.
Mr Dermot said: “The referee didn’t think it was a foul, but if it’s a foul, it’s a bright red card. Worst case is a second yellow card, but he kept playing, so the referee said it was a foul. I didn’t think
“I think it’s a foul and a red card.”
