The world of football is full of controversy, with many fans arguing about the decisions made by referees in key matches. In recent years, there have been several high-profile incidents where controversial referee decisions have shaped the outcome of Premier League matches.

One example of this occurred during the 2018-19 season when Arsenal played Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. The match ended in a draw after a penalty was awarded to City for handball. However, the decision was overturned by VAR (Video Assistant Referee) officials who decided it was not clear whether the ball had touched the goalkeeper's arm or not.

This decision has sparked much debate among fans and commentators alike, with some accusing VAR of being too strict and others claiming it was not strong enough to overturn the original decision. Others argue that the goal should have stood as it was clear that the ball had touched the goalkeeper's arm.

Another controversial incident involved Liverpool vs West Ham United earlier this year. Liverpool went into the game as heavy favourites but were ultimately defeated by a late equaliser from West Ham. The match was marred by several contentious refereeing decisions, including a red card given to Liverpool's captain Jordan Henderson.

The decision to send him off was controversial, with some fans and commentators arguing that he did not receive a fair warning before receiving his marching orders. The decision also sparked a heated argument between the two managers, with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and West Ham boss David Moyes both taking aim at each other on social media.

These examples highlight just how important it is for referees to make accurate decisions in key matches. While they may be human, they must always strive to make the right call based on the evidence available to them. However, it can sometimes be difficult to determine the correct call without the benefit of modern technology such as VAR. As a result, there will always be debates about which decisions are more justifiable than others.
