The use of Video Assistant Referees is in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons after a weekend containing two calamities in the Premier League.
Both incidents occurred in Saturday's 3pm kick-offs, during the Arsenal versus Brentford and Crystal Palace versus Brighton fixtures. At Emirates Stadium, the Gunners were potentially denied victory over the Bees after Ivan Toney's equalising goal in the 1-1 draw was not ruled out for offside.
Across the capital at Selhurst Park, Pervis Estupinan thought he had opened the scoring for the Seagulls only for the VAR to incorrectly rule his goal out, with the two teams going on to play out a 1-1 draw. John Brooks was responsible for the mistake and he has been removed from the officiating teams for Monday night's clash between Liverpool and Everton, as well as Arsenal versus Manchester City on Wednesday night.
