Anthony Taylor appointed referee for Chelsea v Man City in Premier League after Championship demotion

Anthony Taylor will return to the Premier League to referee Sunday's game between Chelsea and Manchester City after his demotion to the Championship.

Taylor deemed Hwang Hee-chan to have fouled Fabian Schar but replays of the incident showed little contact.

PGMOL, the governing body for referees, said the decision was incorrect and VAR should have overturned the call.

Jarred Gillett was the video assistant referee, but he did not advise Taylor to review the incident on the pitchside monitor.

"I thought it was a terrible on-field decision and I thought it was unbelievably surprising that it wasn't overturned," said Wolves boss Gary O'Neil after the game.
