Without getting into the debate over 23 sec, the situation in the derby was explained by the FA official after the match. According to the rules (and yes only the referees have this document), in stoppage time 1 minute is added for each goal scored in stoppage time (there were two in the match) and 30 seconds for each sub (there was 1), so a minimum of 6 and a half minutes of stoppage time was required by rule (the original 4 plus these additions).
