Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew should have been sent off against Everton – Ex-FIFA official Keith Hackett
Former FIFA and Premier League official Keith Hackett has disclosed that Ghana striker Jordan Ayew should have been sent off for his challenge in Crystal Palace 3-2 defeat at Everton.
Referee Anthony Taylor booked Ayew in the first-half of the match week 37 encounter following a high tackle on Anthony Gordon.
VAR official Mike Dean did not deem there to have been a clear and obvious error from Taylor. The decision ultimately had no bearing on the game with the Toffees recovering from two goals down to win and secure their Premier League status for next season.
“It was a red. It was high. I’m amazed that wasn’t given. If the referee hasn’t missed it he has misjudged it,” Keith Hackett told Football Insider.
“Ayew is a very lucky boy. Taylor gave the player the benefit of the doubt by giving him a yellow. He made a judgement call. It is reckless though.
“VAR did not see that as a clear and obvious error because it is a subjective decision.
He added, “For me, the player launched himself and endangered the safety of an opponent. I think he is fortunate to not have got a red card. It fulfilled the law for me.”
“Everton have been on the wrong end of quite a few decisions this season.”
