Alan Shearer Blackburn
Alan Shearer spoke about a match incident involving Southampton’s equalizer being ruled out by VAR for a foul after the referee initially allowed the goal.
Alan Shearer said “They have been really hard done by here. Nelson Semedo steps right across him (Fernandes). He blocks him. The referee didn’t give a foul. Whatever happened to the high-par and the referee’s call. The referee gives nothing. He gives the goal. The VAR think he’s made an error, a huge error, and they sent him to the screen. That would be the question I ask.”
Micah Richards commented on the buildup to another goal during the match where Southampton players felt there were uncalled fouls leading to a goal by Matheus Cunha.
Micah Richards said “Having said that, Southampton were really weak in forward positions. They didn’t do enough with their possession in the final third. Rewatching the buildup to Cunha’s goal, that’s a foul (on Fernandes). There’s also a foul on Archer from Dawson. I totally agree with Russell Martin.”
