Next weekend, a certain historic event may occur in the "Premier" League round. For the first time in the history of the "Premier" League, the referee will not be from the British Isles, but rather an Australian, Jarred Gillett, who will officiate the match between the teams of "Watford" and "Newcastle." Prior to this, only Britons or Irishmen have refereed in the highest division of English football. The 34-year-old Jarred Gillett made his debut in English professional football about 1.5 years ago when he refereed a match between the teams of "Morecambe" and "Cheltenham Town." Last year, a significant match for the Australian was when he refereed the playoff matches for promotion to the "Premier" League, in which the teams of "Bournemouth" and "Brentford" played.
