PGMOL chief Howard Webb believes it was the right choice to improve William Saliba’s yellow card to a crimson throughout Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth final month.
The French defender was proven a straight crimson card for flattening Bournemouth striker Evanilson within the first half of the Gunners’ defeat on the Vitality Stadium. The decision was upgraded from a yellow card after VAR Jarred Gillett beneficial Robert Jones evaluation the choice on-field.
Saliba was initially booked for his last-man foul close to the centre circle following Leandro Trossard’s poor go, however referee Jones modified his choice to a crimson following a VAR verify as Arsenal had been lowered to 10 males for the third time this season.
WHAT THE OFFICIALS SAID:
Assistant referee: For me, the masking defender is just too distant however he isn’t answerable for the ball. It in all probability feels extra yellow than crimson. He has quite a lot of work to do.
Fourth official: I agree, I agree with that.
Referee: I am considering warning due to Ben White. He’s the masking man and he is very far out, so on-field choice is yellow card, William Saliba.
VAR: Checking choice for doable DOGSO (denying a goalscoring alternative). The goalkeeper is backing away, White is just too distant from the ball.
I believe it is DOGSO, clear proof of DOGSO. He is goal-side and the ball is just going to get possession from the attacker. I’ll advocate an on-field evaluation for potential DOGSO.
The issues are it’s a clear flour, the gap Ben White is from the ball, and I’ll present you one other angle to indicate the goalkeeper’s motion.
Referee: I am with you, Jarred. I utterly agree, Ben White is additional away than we anticipated. It is a crimson card.
WEBB’S VERDICT:

Dermot Gallagher discusses why William Saliba was despatched off for a last-player sort out on Evanilson, however Tosin Adarabioyo wasn’t for a foul on Diogo Jota.
I do imagine that the offence dedicated by William Saliba on this scenario did deny Evanilson an apparent goalscoring alternative and subsequently the referee’s name to brandish a yellow card on the sphere was fallacious.
There are 4 standards for DOGSO: The primary is the course of play… is it going in the direction of or away from the objective? Secondly, it is the place and site of defenders. Are they going to have the ability to impression a goalscoring alternative? The third one is how seemingly it’s the attacker goes to get management of the ball, after which the fourth one is the gap from objective.
Very often you need to have a look at all of them collectively and, often, you want all 4 of them to be in place to substantiate {that a} DOGSO has occurred.
Ought to Tosin have been despatched off for Chelsea on identical precept?

Talking on Match Officers Mic’d Up, Howard Webb explains why Tosin Adarabioyo survived a sending-off after bringing down Diogo Jota as Chelsea confronted Liverpool at Anfield.
INCIDENT: Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo was solely proven a yellow card for the same incident when he introduced down Diogo Jota throughout Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat at Liverpool. A yellow card was given.
WHAT THE OFFICIALS SAID:
Referee: Foul and a yellow.
Fourth official: Pulls him again, mate.
Assistant referee: Yellow.
Referee: Tosin, yellow. There is a man there.
VAR: An excessive amount of distance, an excessive amount of doubt.
VAR: I am confirming, on-field choice of yellow card. Clearly an excessive amount of doubt for DOGSO.
WEBB’S VERDICT:
The 2 conditions have been in contrast as they occurred in the identical match spherical. It usually occurs. Once more, on this scenario, the on-field choice was a yellow card for Tosin stopping a promising assault.
The referee felt this fell wanting being DOGSO as a result of the ball is arcing away to the proper.
With Saliba, the ball goes in the direction of the centre. One other key facet is, for me, that Levi Colwill is fairly shut by. It is occurred excessive up the sphere and Colwill would undoubtedly have been in a position to impression this example.
I agree with a yellow card on this scenario.

WHAT THE OFFICIALS SAID:
Referee: No, no, no.
VAR: Simply checking doable penalty… I believe this can be a penalty. De Ligt into the foot. Decrease leg, yeah. He misses the ball and the contact with the leg.

VAR: Cootey, I’ll advocate an on-field evaluation for a doable penalty.
Referee: So we have knee-to-knee contact.
VAR: Yeah, decrease leg contact from De Ligt onto Danny Ings with no contact on the ball from De Ligt.

Sky Sports activities Information Ref Watch takes a more in-depth have a look at the choice to award a late penalty to West ham at residence to Manchester United. May that be a call that finally led to the sacking of Erik ten Hag?
WEBB’S VERDICT:
I believed it was a misinterpret by the VAR Michael Oliver. A VAR who is generally very proficient and dependable. He acquired uber-focused on this scenario with De Ligt’s leg.
His leg coming by means of onto Danny Ings, not making any contact with the ball. The VAR sees that as a transparent foul however I do not assume he ought to get entangled.
I believe this can be a scenario the place you permit the on-field choice as it’s, in all probability whichever approach it is known as. VAR acquired too centered on the swinging leg from De Ligt.
Referees are advised they’re inside their rights to stay to their authentic choice however in fact, when they’re despatched to the display, they’re going as a result of the VAR has recognized what they understand is an error. That judgment is perhaps fallacious, because it was on this case. They should nonetheless have a look at the monitor with recent eyes and make a name.

Bernardo Silva is within the six-yard field, he is undoubtedly not within the line of imaginative and prescient. He is not difficult, he isn’t making a motion to distract and he isn’t tried to play a ball that is shut.

Dermot Gallagher discusses why John Stones’ late winner in opposition to Wolves was not disallowed.
WEBB’S VERDICT:
It was disallowed in real-time. There was a giant confusion over whether or not it had been disallowed initially.
The on-field choice decided that Bernardo Silva had dedicated an offside offence when the ball was headed ahead by John Stones.
From that second, Silva’s place turns into related. However he hasn’t dedicated an offside offence as he hasn’t impacted the goalkeeper’s motion. When the VAR regarded on the replays, he may see that no offside offence had been dedicated and so a objective could possibly be awarded.
