Taylor to ref Arsenal v Lincoln despite Burnley blunder

Referee Anthony Taylor is set to officiate the FA Cup quarter-final tie between Arsenal and Lincoln City at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Taylor was awarded the game despite his blunder in wrongfully awarding a penalty to Burnley in their 3-2 defeat to Swansea City on the weekend.

Taylor made the wrong call in the first half after the ball had hit the arm of Clarets striker Sam Vokes but the FA have still awarded him the final eight game between the Gunners and the Imps.
