Paul Tierney has come under fire for his part in Liverpool’s late victory against Nottingham Forest over the weekend.
Paul Tierney will not referee a Premier League match this weekend after being chastised for his controversial decision in Liverpool’s match against Nottingham Forest the previous Saturday. Instead, the official will be located at Stockley Park and in control of VAR for Arsenal’s match against Brentford.
The Reds managed to retain their lead at the top of the table on Saturday thanks to a late winner from Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan international managed to steer his header past Matz Sels in the 99th minute at the City Ground to send the travelling Liverpool supporters into a frenzy.
Paul Tierney will not take charge of a Premier League match this weekend having come under fire for his controversial decision in Liverpool’s clash with Nottingham Forest over the weekend.

The Reds managed to retain their lead at the top of the table on Saturday thanks to a late winner from Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan international managed to steer his header past Matz Sels in the 99th minute at the City Ground to send the travelling Liverpool supporters into a frenzy.
However, the nature of the last-gasp winner has been somewhat overshadowed by the controversy surrounding the goal. The Reds received possession prior to their goal after Tierney restarted the match with a drop ball at the feet of Caiomhin Kelleher.
But Forest were left infuriated by that decision as they were in possession of the ball when play was halted due to a head injury sustained by Ibrahima Konate. Both players and supporters felt that Tierney should have restarted play with the ball at the feet of one of their players instead of the Liverpool goalkeeper.
