What did the referee do on Arsenal’s match with Burnley while in charge of the UEFA Champions League clash?

Anthony Taylor, who will lead Arsenal’s trip to Burnley this weekend, had a moment to forget as he refereed Dynamo Kiev against Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

The 42-year-old is widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s best referees, but he got a bit ahead of himself in the 82nd minute of the clash as he sent off Kiev midfielder Denys Garmash for a second bookable offense, even though he has not received a first yellow card

Taylor appeared to indicate on the pitch that he was giving the Ukrainian a second yellow for several infractions, but after the Kiev team surrounded him to point out to him that he had never booked Garmash, he quickly changed her mind, giving her a reservation instead. .

It’s one of those moments that happens every now and then, and Taylor will want to quickly erase the incident from her memory before taking charge of the match at Turf Moor on Saturday.

Both teams enter the game battling for points, as Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have 16^e in the table after their first win of the season against other Norwich opponents last weekend, while Sean Dyche’s Burnley has taken just one point in his opening four matches.

The Gunners should be boosted by extra time on the training ground this week, as for the first time in 25 years they are not competing in Europe.

Neither Arteta nor Dyche will be worried about Taylor’s howl on Tuesday night, but instead will be focused on getting some much-needed points on the board.
