Referee Michael Salisbury has been removed from VAR duties for Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Arsenal on Sunday after the PGMOL acknowledged that the official had committed an “error” during Chelsea’s victory over Fulham the day before.
Salisbury was the video-assisted official who directed referee Rob Jones to the pitch-side monitor after Josh King thought he had fired Fulham into a 1–0 lead at Stamford Bridge on Saturday lunchtime. Salisbury provided his colleague with footage showing Rodrigo Muniz land on Trevoh Chalobah in the buildup to King’s well-taken finish.
