He could and should (if going by the book) have booked Sterling in the first half. Common sense was applied and he was spared.
Atkinson had a good game today!

Silva' disallowed goal aside I agree.

The bald liner used to work at Direct Line in Leeds. He might still. I was chatting to him about 4 years ago because he'd been given his first Premier League game and it was us vs Villa. He made two shockers which resulted in us getting penalties. Always liked him. Nice bloke as well.

I said in the match thread at the time Sterling tangled with the defender in an offside position which made him active therefore correct call. The referee had a good game.
I wish we could have Atkinson every week. Yeh he makes the odd mistake but you always feels he's honest and speaks through his decisions with the players and isn't at all arrogant. Top ref in my view. AND STERLING WAS 3 YARDS OFFSIDE ON SILVA'S GOAL AS HE CHALLENGED THE DEFENDER SO INTERFERING. Get it in your head guys. Yes most weeks we are screwed but not today. Just enjoy the win and stop finding things to winge about
