Nothing to go super in depth on in this match.
Overview: Atkinson may have missed a penalty just after Reading's equalizer, as a Reading shot appeared to hit the outstretched arm of an Arsenal defender on the edge of the area. Very hard to tell if it would have been a penalty though and almost impossible for Atkinson to see from his angle. Overall, a well-officiated match from Atkinson.
Aston Villa 2-1 Liverpool Referee: Michael Oliver
There was just one mistake by this crew, but it was a big one.
88th Minute: Mario Balotelli appears to have leveled the score at 2, but John Brooks inexplicably raises the offsides flag despite Balotelli being more than a yard onside. Tough for Brooks to see because the player keeping Balotelli on was on the opposite side, but a bad call nonetheless.
Overview: Oliver was good in the match, but his assistant's error drew most of the talk. In my opinion, unfair calls like this could be changed if we just had instant replay. Regardless, an overall good performance with one blemish coming at a bad time.
