Premier League Reassigns Referee Tierney After Controversial Call
Referee Paul Tierney won’t be officiating Premier League matches this weekend due to a critical decision in Liverpool’s recent 1-0 win against Nottingham Forest.
In the closing minutes, Tierney awarded a throw-in to Liverpool after a head injury stoppage.
This restart led directly to Liverpool’s winning goal by Darwin Nunez. The decision sparked outrage, with Nottingham Forest’s manager confronting Tierney after the game.
While omitted from on-field duties, Tierney will be serving as the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for the crucial title-race match between Arsenal and Brentford this Saturday.
