Sunny Singh Gill Makes Premier League Refereeing Debut Amid Controversy

Sunny Singh Gill, the first British South Asian Premier League referee, faces criticism for signing autographs during half-time.

Sunny Singh Gill became the first British South Asian to referee a Premier League match, overseeing the Crystal Palace vs. Luton Town game.
Former referee Mike Dean criticized Gill for signing autographs at half-time, calling it 'bang out of order'.
Gill's historic debut was marked by a 1-1 draw, with Luton snatching a late equalizer.
Gill comes from a family with a strong refereeing background, including his father, the first English league football referee to wear a turban.
Gill's decision-making was tested early in the game, but no major controversies arose from his officiating.
