Gary Neville slams Taylor’s “one-sided” officiating as Brentford beat United 4-3 — calls for Premier League referee reform intensify!
In a chaotic 4-3 defeat to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, Manchester United’s youngest-ever Premier League lineup was left frustrated—not just by their defending, but by Anthony Taylor’s decisions that infuriated fans and pundits alike. Gary Neville didn’t hold back, labeling Taylor the “worst referee in the Premier League” after a series of controversial calls, including a denied penalty and inconsistent foul judgments.
Statistically, Brentford dominated in shots (31 to 11) and corners (14 to 4), but Taylor’s perceived bias became the talking point. United’s loss now matches their worst league season in 35 years, and with Erik ten Hag’s future uncertain, this defeat—and the officiating—only deepens the crisis.
Brentford, meanwhile, celebrated a statement win, keeping their European hopes alive thanks to standout performances from Kevin Schade and Yoane Wissa.
