Richard Keys slams 'bullied schoolboy' referee as he hits out at Arsenal hypocrisy

Richard Keys has had his say on the weekend’s controversial VAR calls in the Premier League - by letting rip at former PGMOL chief Mike Riley.

It was a disastrous weekend of high-profile gaffes, leading to Howard Webb, the new chief of referees’ body PGMOL, summoning all top flight officials to attend a meeting at Stockley Park on Tuesday to discuss what went wrong.

Webb also decided to pull Video Assistant Referee John Brooks, whose error led to Brighton wrongly having a goal disallowed for offside, being removed from duty for Monday night’s Merseyside derby and Wednesday’s top of the table showdown between Arsenal and Manchester City. Arsenal themselves were on the wrong side of a VAR error, with Lee Mason not noticing Christian Norgaard was offside in the build up to Ivan Toney's equaliser in Brentford's 1-1 draw at the Emirates.
