Premier League make major VAR decision on Arsenal vs Manchester City title clash

The Premier League have replaced John Brooks as the VAR for Arsenal's Premier League clash against Manchester City on Wednesday.

Brooks was on VAR duty at the weekend during Brighton's 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, accidentally drawing the offside lines on the wrong player for Palace's goal. And it wasn't the only VAR howler on Saturday, with Lee Mason forgetting to draw the relevant offside lines in the build-up to Brentford's equaliser against Arsenal.

Bees midfielder Christian Norgaard, who assisted Toney, was actually offside, resulting in the PGMOL releasing a statement which read: “PGMOL can confirm its Chief Refereeing Officer Howard Webb has contacted both Arsenal and Brighton & Hove Albion to acknowledge and explain the significant errors in the VAR process in their respective Premier League fixtures on Saturday.”
