Fans have expressed their outrage at referee Anthony Taylor following another controversial display during Preston's victory over Coventry.

Taylor's Demotion to Championship

After a questionable penalty decision in Newcastle's match against Wolves, Taylor was demoted to the Championship as punishment. Despite the decision not being overturned by VAR, the PGMOL took action against Taylor for the first time in four years.

Controversial Penalty Decision Sparks Outrage

During the Championship match between Preston and Coventry, Taylor awarded a first-half penalty to Preston, causing uproar among fans. The decision came after minimal contact between Coventry defender Kyle McFadzean and Preston's Milutin Osmajic, who appeared unaffected as he took the shot.

Fans Demand Further Demotion

The controversial penalty decision led fans to express their frustration with Taylor, with some suggesting he should be demoted to League One. One fan described the decision as "shocking," while another questioned whether a red card should have been given since the player did not make a genuine attempt to play the ball.

Past Demotions in the Premier League

Taylor is not the only Premier League official to face demotion this season. Assistant referee Adrian Holmes officiated Millwall's match against Hull after incorrectly ruling Luis Diaz's goal for Liverpool against Tottenham as offside. Despite controversy, VAR did not overturn the decision.
