Ref was changed recently because of affiliation with a rival club... so really while statement is mad
Think premier league could have avoided possible problems like what happened ? No official who is as offilliation with rival club should partake in game common sense really.

Nottingham Forest say they are "considering their options" over "extremely poor" refereeing decisions following their 2-0 defeat at Everton.
The club said they had "warned" the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOL) that "the VAR is a Luton fan but they didn't change him".
"Three extremely poor decisions - three penalties not given - which we simply cannot accept," the club said on X.
"Our patience has been tested multiple times."
Although they did not name the official, the video assistant referee was Stuart Attwell.
Nottingham Forest issued the highly critical post on the social network on Sunday at 15:42 BST, about five minutes after full-time in the match at Goodison Park - which left the club one point above the relegation zone.
Questioned about the club's post, Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo said it was "not important if he [Attwell] is a fan of another club".
He added: "I share the feeling of the club because is it not only this game. It is has been a while that we have had poor decisions going against us. It is not an excuse but we are not happy with the work of the referees."
BBC Sport is contacting referees' board the PGMOL for comment, and understands the Football Association is aware of the post and investigating.
