The English Premier League could have set a precedent for the Scottish Premiership after referee Lee Mason was DROPPED after his VAR blunder during Arsenal's draw with Brentford.
With the Gunners in the hunt for the title they took on Thomas Frank's side where Leandro Trossard opened the scoring in a bid to extend their gap over Manchester City to eight points, though it was short lived. Ivan Toney struck an equaliser with just 15 minutes remaining to ensure the Gunners dropped points for the second game running.
However, the goal should NOT have stood. With VAR official Lee Mason failing to check up on a ball that came into the box where two Brentford players were clearly offside, Toney scored from the resulting chaos to make Arsenal nervous about their Premier League crown. And that now means that Mason has been dropped from Premier League fixtures next weekend - which could make SPFL referees sweat over their appointments with VAR discourse increasing by the minute.
