PGMOL chief Howard Webb believes it was the right call to send off Arsenal's William Saliba at Bournemouth, but says it was wrong to give West Ham a penalty vs Man Utd.
PGMOL chief Howard Webb believes it was the correct decision to upgrade William Saliba's yellow card to a red during Arsenal's 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth last month. The French defender was shown a straight red card for pulling down Bournemouth striker Evanilson in the first half of the Gunners' defeat at the Vitality Stadium. The call was upgraded from a yellow card after VAR Jarred Gillett recommended Robert Jones review the decision on-field.
Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo was only shown a yellow card for a similar incident when he brought down Diogo Jota during Chelsea's 2-1 defeat at Liverpool. A yellow card was given. Manchester United defender Matthijs de Ligt made contact with West Ham forward Danny Ings but David Coote initially waved play on. After it was suggested he go to the monitor by Michael Oliver on VAR, Coote awarded a penalty to West Ham which Jarrod Bowen went on to score.
thought it was a misread by the VAR Michael Oliver. A VAR who is normally very talented and reliable. He got uber-focused in this situation with De Ligt's leg. His leg coming through onto Danny Ings, not making any contact with the ball. The VAR sees that as a clear foul but I don't think he should get involved. I think this is a situation where you leave the on-field decision as it is, probably whichever way it's called. VAR got too focused on the swinging leg from De Ligt.
