Has Tim Robinson Refereed Wolves or Spurs This Season?

Robinson has officiated six Premier League games this season with his most recent coming in last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Goodison Park between Everton and Brighton.

The West Sussex-based referee has yet to officiate a Wolves game this campaign, but he was the man in charge when Tottenham beat Bournemouth 2-0 in August.

Tim Robinson Referee Stats 2023/24

Robinson has awarded one penalty in the Premier League this season in his six games in charge, which came in Arsenal’s 5-0 rout of Sheffield United at the Emirates in October.

In terms of cards, Robinson hasn’t sent anybody off yet but has displayed 30 yellow cards, with his busiest Premier League game coming at Stamford Bridge in Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest (7). The last Tottenham game he officiated he showed four yellow cards, with two of those going to Spurs players.

VAR Controversies

VAR has been the major talking point of almost every match week in the Premier League this season, but Robinson hasn’t been around any major controversial decisions in his six games in charge to date. He’ll be hoping that’s still the case when the full-time whistle goes at Molineux and fans of both sides would likely agree as well.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have had their fair share of VAR incidents this season, as have Gary O’Neil’s men so both managers will also be hoping for an incident-free game to kick-off the weekend.
