Referee Anthony Taylor gave coach Paulo Bento a red card in the 2022 Qatar World Cup match once morest Ghana. Yonhap News Korea referee Anthony Taylor was demoted to the second division.

Sky Sports announced Taylor’s relegation from the Championship (Second Division) while reporting on Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Gary O’Neill’s press conference once morest Sheffield United on the 3rd (local time).

Taylor declared a penalty kick following a foul by Hwang Hee-chan in the 45th minute of the Wolverhampton-Newcastle game. Hwang Hee-chan made up for his mistake with a goal in the 26th minute of the second half, but expressed regret following the game, saying, “I don’t know exactly what the situation was, but I don’t think it was a foul.” Coach O’Neill also strongly protested once morest the misjudgment.

Sky Sports explained, “Taylor called a foul on Hwang Hee-chan’s penalty kick in the match between Wolverhampton and Newcastle United last weekend. The penalty decision was incorrect and VAR did not confirm it. He will be a referee in the Championship, not the Premier League.”

This is not Taylor’s first miscarriage of justice.

In particular, it has a deep negative relationship with Korea. In the Tottenham Hotspur-Chelsea match in December 2019, Son Heung-min was given a direct red card, and in the 2022 Qatar World Cup match once morest Ghana, the game ended in a corner kick situation for Korea. After the game, coach Paulo Bento, who was protesting, was sent off.

He also caused trouble in the Tottenham-Chelsea match in August last year. Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel, who was the head coach of Chelsea at the time, raised his voice and said, “I hope Taylor will not be the referee for Chelsea games in the future.”
