Michael Salisbury, the VAR for Tottenham's win over Brighton, will not be on duty for this weekend's Premier League games, after the PGMOL were forced to issue an apology for his failure to award the Seagulls a penalty.
Salisbury is the second official to be stood down after the weekend, with Constantine Hatzidakis also benched after he appeared to elbow Liverpool star Andy Robertson during the Reds' draw with Arsenal. The PGMOL quickly sent an apology to Brighton after their defeat to Spurs.
The Seagulls had appealed for a penalty in the second-half of the top-flight clash when Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg appeared to catch Kaoru Mitoma inside the area with the score at 1-1. Referee Stuart Attwell immediately waved away Brighton's appeals.
