Oliver Langford

Oliver Langford is an English referee and officiates primarily in the EFL Championship. He is not in the Select Group of match officials but is, however, on the Group Two list and trained in the use of ''Video Assisted Refereeing'', which means he is qualified to take charge of an elite league match. He has been a referee since 2009.

He made his Premier League debut on 18 August 2019, when he was scheduled to be the fourth official in Chelsea's home match against Leicester City. However, referee Graham Scott was stuck in traffic on the M40. Scott arrived at the ground late and missed the warm-up so was replaced by Langford. The match finished in a 1–1 draw.

A controversial call by Langford during the 2024/2025 EFL Championship season, in which he awarded Norwich two goals after the ball had gone over a foot out of play, gave Norwich City a 3-2 win over Derby County. Provided by Wikipedia
