Michael Oliver's refereeing decisions have sparked fresh controversy, this time in the Champions League, with former Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka accusing the official of bias and inconsistency.
It has been revealed that Liverpool manager Arne Slot told referee Michael Oliver he would blame him if the club fail to win this season's Premier League, although the two differ in their interpretation of how that claim was put across.
Arsenal have been slapped with a 65,000 pound fine for improper conduct following Myles Lewis-Skelly’s red card during the match against Wolves last month.
Manchester City captain Kyle Walker voiced his frustration regarding referee Michael Oliver's role in Arsenal's first goal during the 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City's Kyle Walker praised referee Michael Oliver for not "crumbling" in a fierce Anfield atmosphere and giving a last-minute penalty to Liverpool.
