Manchester United's heavy defeat against Liverpool recently prompted FIFA to consider studying a new law that might eventually be approved.

Manchester United fell shockingly on the grounds of “Anfield” by seven clean last Sunday at the top of the 26th round of the English Premier League.

Andy Madley, the referee of that summit, calculated 4 minutes of stoppage time, despite scoring 6 goals and making 10 changes to the two teams in the second half.

🗣️ “Maybe in the future we may consider to say in the laws of the game that additional time is not to be given.”

FIFA's Chief Referee Pierluigi Collina has suggested that one sided matches could scrap added time in the game such as the Liverpool 7-0 win over Manchester United.

Italian Pierluigi Collina, head of the FIFA Referees Committee, believes that the referee should have played full stoppage time instead of just the four minutes counted.

And the matter was repeated in the Brighton and West Ham United match in the same round of the “Premier League”, as the referee ended the match without counting the full stoppage time, after the first over the second, 4-0.

And the British “Give Me Sport” website reported that “in the last week, 10 matches were held in the English Premier League, 4 of which exceeded 100 minutes.”

"The substitute time should have been longer in two. Maybe the referees decided not to give the extra time strictly," he added.

Collina explained, "I can understand that when the score is 7-0, but if the competition regulations stipulate that the goal difference should be invoked, then one goal may make a difference."

But Collina later admitted that FIFA would consider imposing the "mercy rule" and resort to it in matches where one team is ahead of another by a big score.

"Perhaps in the future we may consider not calculating injury time accurately, if the result is very large, and this will be in the laws of the game," Collina said.

A day to remember.

And he indicated that "the matter may be logical, but it will not be the case if it affects a specific team. In the Spain national team match against Costa Rica in the World Cup, the first was ahead 6-0 and was granted 8 minutes of extra time."

And he continued, "Spain scored a seventh goal, and this goal could have cost Spain or Costa Rica to qualify for the second round or leave the tournament, or even affect the group ranking."
