Footage reveals Anthony Taylor's realtime decisions in Sunderland derby win | OneFootball

Sky Sports have released footage from Anthony Taylor's refcam during Sunderland's 2-1 win at Newcastle United, offering real-time insight into his decisions. According to Sunderland Echo, the clips provide a close-up of his on-field calls.

Early in the first half, Taylor halted play to address Jason Tindall and Sunderland coach Michael Proctor. He warned both about dissent towards the fourth official and said further incidents would bring bookings.

Newcastle appealed for a penalty when Anthony Gordon went down in the box. Taylor quickly decided Trai Hume had not fouled, ruling Gordon had initiated the contact by stepping across him.

Just before half time, Hume was cautioned for a foul on Anthony Elanga. A confrontation followed involving Gordon, Omar Alderete and Joelinton, and Taylor moved players away.

In the second half, he swiftly awarded Chemsdine Talbi's equaliser, ruling goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was impeded by his own defender. From Hume's follow-up, he judged Habib Diarra to have used his chest to turn the ball towards goal.

Jacob Murphy then appealed for handball, and Taylor asked which player he believed had handled. He noted a booking would be required for a shirt removed in the celebrations, and the goal stood.

At 1-1 in the second half, he ruled Murphy was interfering with play from an offside position as Malick Thiaw headed towards the Sunderland goal.
