🏟️🚨Ex-PL Ref Gives Clear Verdict on No Senesi Red Card in Liverpool v Bournemouth
Former Premier League referee Keith Hackett has held no punches in his response to Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi avoiding a red card during the Cherries’ opening day 4-2 defeat against Liverpool in the Premier League. The Friday night clash was one full of incidents, with the alleged racist abuse of Antoine Semenyo naturally making the top headlines.
Prior to that, there was a controversial in-game moment that left many, including co-commentator Jamie Carragher, baffled as Senesi avoided punishment despite what appeared to be a blatant handball to prevent Hugo Ekitike running through on goal. And now, Hackett, who is also the ex-PGMOL chief, has shared his thoughts.
Hackett Slams Senesi Red Card Decision
With Liverpool looking to break and Senesi the last Bournemouth defender, the Argentine miscontrolled the ball and, to prevent Ekitike getting in behind, seemed to swat at the ball with his hand, with referee Anthony Taylor playing on. The incident was checked by VAR, but the Premier League Match Centre X account confirmed that “the action [was] deemed not to be a clear handball offence nor denial of a goal scoring opportunity (DOGSO), due to the distance from goal.”
On commentary, Carragher claimed that what he had heard from Stockley Park was a slightly different version of events, as he said: “We can hear what the VAR are saying and they are saying it’s come off his leg and it’s hit his hand and he can’t do anything about it. It’s the second movement. It’s not. He realises he’s got a massive problem and he puts his arm towards the ball. How can the VAR say that? What I’ve just heard from the VAR did not happen.”
