ROUGH FOR REFS TOO…

ANTHONY TAYLOR has revealed how coronavirus has changed the way referees manage matches as he prepares to take charge of tonight’s UEFA Super Cup before 20,000 spectators in Budapest. European football’s governing body is using the match – between last season’s Champions League and Europa League winners, Bayern Munich and Sevilla – as a pilot event for the return of fans. Manchester’s Taylor, 41, above, said: “It’s hard for referees because you can hear everything when a stadium is empty. You can hear every contact, every noise [ when players challenge each other or go into tackles] but this doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re committing a foul.”
