Irish referee Alan Kelly was embroiled in controversy during last night's Major League Soccer clash between New York Red Bulls and New York City. During the action, a New York City defender is seen kicking the ball out of play, for which the linesman Corey Rockwell clearly awards a corner kick to Red Bulls. The Red Bulls overcame an early City goal with an equaliser just before half-time, but it was their lead goal that left NYC fuming. Kelly also noted that throw-ins and corner kick decisions are not reviewable by VAR.
