Chaos at Tottenham as Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech shown red card for pushing Emerson Royal in face before referee withdraws it and calls him back

https://ift.tt/xmhrvjF

Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech had a red card withdrawn after a VAR review during his side’s Premier League match against Tottenham.

In a slow-paced but characteristically feisty derby things got out of hand in first-half stoppage time after an on field clash.

Ziyech clearly pushed Royal in the face, was given a red but was overturned

The match eventually ended 2-0 to Spurs, who came away with the win when they’d earlier thought they had a man advantage

Spurs’ Richarlison had possession on the halfway line, but was taken off the ball by a barge from Moroccan World Cup star Ziyech.

A number of players instantly jumped to the Brazilian’s defence in one of a number of flashpoints during the opening 45 minutes.

A melee was sparked, with Spurs’ Emerson Royal charging into the back of Ziyech, and as some shoves were dealt out, Emerson staggered back and went to ground.

Referee Stuart Attwell produced a red card for Ziyech, but after consulting with his pitch side monitor, he rescinded the sending off, and gave the Moroccan a yellow.

Replays appeared to show that Ziyech’s shove was on Emerson’s shoulder, catching his face on the follow through.

The Blues winger threw his arms up in disgust at the initial decision and shook his head, but had barely left the pitch before it was overturned.

He didn’t last much longer anyway, though, being taken off by Graham Potter in the 62nd minute of the derby defeat.

https://ift.tt/OK0pels Pep Guardiola has already reassured Man City supporters who might fear that he could follow Jurgen Klopp in quitting the Premier League. The Liverpool boss shocked the football world on Friday by announcing his decision to leave Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season following nine years at Anfield. 3 Klopp and Guardiola are friends and rivals both on and off the pitch Credit: AFP Explaining the decision, Klopp said: "It is that I am, how can I say it, running out of energy. "I have no problem now, obviously, I knew it already for longer that I will have to announce it at one point, but I am absolutely fine now. "I know that I cannot do the job again and again and again and again."

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
