Arsenal given official who was dropped for VAR blunder as Lee Mason discovers fate

Referee John Brooks is scheduled to be part of the officiating team for Arsenal 's weekend game against Aston Villa, whilst Lee Mason has been dropped following his blunder against the Gunners.

The pair saw their positions called into question over the weekend's round of Premier League fixtures for dire errors. Mason was part of the VAR team at Stockley Park for the North Londoners' controversial draw with Brentford.

After Leandro Trossard had given the hosts the lead, Ivan Toney equalised as he latched onto Christian Norgaard's knock-down. VAR allowed the goal to stand despite the midfielder appearing as though he was offside.
