As others have said thought he was largely anonymous which is the sign of a good ref. My only gripe might be the lecture he gave Dunk about time wasting.

Failed to play a minimum four minutes of injury time.

When the fourth official held the board up to show the added time, it actually said 3! The Big Screens got it wrong.

He played over 4 mins. The person next to me set her phone timer when the board went up and announced time up.

It was definitely 4 when I looked at the board. We were guessing the minutes and me and those next to me thought 5...and we definitely all saw 4 on the board.

The board showed 3 or 4 mins. Football really is a game of opinions.

I'd rather be commenting on a ref decision, however bad they are than VAR.

Every time the Burnley number 23 fell over he awarded a foul, which encouraged him to fall over more and more often.
Re the added time, when it was announced on the stadium announcement it was 16:47 on the board and he blew at 16:50. But he didn’t add any extra time for the Burnley goal, which was after the 90th minute.

When they ANNOUNCE the added time is entirely irrelevant. they don't announce it spot on 90:00. Could have alreday played 30 / 60 / 90 seconds of the added time, at that point.
