The Premier League have released a statement demanding a review from the Professional Game Match Officials Limited following a controversial weekend of refereeing and VAR incidents.
The PGMOL accepted that VAR was to blame for two incidents on Saturday afternoon. The body that runs elite referees confirmed in a statement on Sunday that Howard Webb, the chief refereeing officer for the PGMOL, had contacted the clubs involved about the errors.
John Brooks, the VAR for Crystal Palace v Brighton, disallowed a goal by Pervis Estupiñán because the offside lines were drawn incorrectly, while Lee Mason — the VAR in Arsenal’s 1-1 draw against Brentford — did not draw the offside lines to check Christian Norgaard’s position before he crossed for Ivan Toney to score in the 74th minute.
