For the first time in Premier League history, the referee’s explanation of a disallowed goal to the players on the pitch was broadcast on television during the match. Unfortunately for Liverpool, it was Florian Wirtz’s effort against Nottingham Forest which created this new chapter.
One of the many new changes put in place for this season’s Premier League campaign was an expansion of the scope afforded to broadcasters. It was agreed by the division’s clubs that the conversations between officials and players would be allowed to be played to the public watching from afar during the 90 minutes in question.
