Clattenburg: Assistant referee made big mistake that cost Cardiff

Clattenburg claims Neil Warnock was on the whole correct to be angered by the choice to permit Chelsea's equalizer.

Let's get straight to the point, these choices — when a player moves from an offside to an onside position in a brief moment — are the hardest for right hand arbitrators.

For this situation, however, the colleague ought not be failing to understand the situation. He is in line and the play originates from a corner.

The way that VAR would clear up this sort of blunder is of no relief to groups like Cardiff, who need these choices to go their direction now.

Cardiff were additionally irritated by Craig Pawson's choice not to send off Antonio Rudiger for fouling Kenneth Zohore when the forward was weighing down on Goal yet a yellow card was the correct call.

For a player to be sent off for denying a conspicuous goalscoring opportunity, the aggressor must have a reasonable shot and be in control of the ball before being fouled.

With the goalkeeper likewise turning out to challenge for the ball, there was sufficient uncertainty that Zohore had a reasonable course to goal.
