I think if the ordinary person on the street knows the rules, I'm sure the ref at that game does as well. Just a hunch.
It must have been something else surely.
If he did make that blunder, he'll be in the PL on Saturday reffing at the London STADIUM.
I don't think there is any possibility in that scenario in which a free kick would be given to Burton, even aggravated assault would probably get the man sent off, but the kick re-taken.
He's confused the punishment for encroachment. The free kick option is only available if the kicker doesn't score. It's a retake if he scores. There's are no other options

It beggars belief how a professional referee, hell any referee could get that wrong.
I'll reserve judgment until I hear the explanation.
