Watford 0-6 Man City
INCIDENT: Two Man City goals stand despite close offside decisions
SCENARIO: Sergio Aguero heads in and then sets up Gabriel Jesus to score, but replays show both players were offside
DERMOT'S VERDICT: Wrong decision
DERMOT SAYS: The VAR [Video Assistant Referee], if it was in use, would show both are offside. In defence of the assistant, the first is extremely tight. That could go either way and he isn't convinced it's offside so keeps his flag down. I can fully accept that. For Gabriel Jesus, it's half a body. It's not as tight as Aguero and it would be given by the VAR, but it's difficult to get.
INCIDENT: Kyle Walker catches Nathaniel Chalobah with a high challenge in the box
SCENARIO: From a Watford corner, Walker goes in late on Chalobah and catches him without playing the ball, but no penalty is given
DERMOT'S VERDICT: Right decision
DERMOT SAYS: I think this is the most interesting decision of the weekend. I don't think it's a penalty because nobody expects it. It's just a challenge you see in every penalty area. If you look at the law you say it probably is a penalty because he catches him high and doesn't play the ball. But you see it every day of the week and the referee plays on. It's a very tough decision.
Tottenham 0-0 Swansea
INCIDENT: Tottenham are denied three penalties
SCENARIO: Martin Olsson appears to block off Toby Alderweireld as he knocks the ball past him. Spurs then appeal for penalties as a cross hits Olsson before Serge Aurier goes to ground under a challenge from behind - although the referee had already blown for handball against Aurier
DERMOT'S VERDICT: Right decision
DERMOT SAYS: The first one with Alderweireld comes back to my saying 'where can he go?' Alderweireld can't get by but Olsson can't make himself invisible. He hasn't moved into line with him and hasn't moved across and taken him out, so it's a no for me. The Olsson 'handball' has got to be the best spot the referee can make. That is an incredible spot. I didn't think it hit him on the hip but it did.With Aurier, he actually trips himself.
Liverpool 1-1 Burnley
INCIDENT: Liverpool's Mohamed Salah is denied two penalties
SCENARIO: Salah goes down under a challenge from James Tarkowski and then, later in the game, is challenged by Ben Mee in the box. Neither is given as a penalty
DERMOT'S VERDICT: One right, one wrong
DERMOT SAYS: I don't think the first one is a penalty. I don't think it's a foul.
Why is the second one not given? Because of where the referee is. From his angle it looks like Mee gets the ball but it is actually Salah that gets it. It's impossible to see from where the referee is.
