"Official Michael Salisbury has been dropped for Sunday's Premier League heavywieght clash between early title contenders Liverpool and Arsenal after Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) admitted the decision to disallow Fulham's goal against Chelsea on Saturday was a mistake. Salisbury was the VAR as Chelsea ran out 2-0 winners at Stamford Bridge, courtesy of goals from Joao Pedro and an Enzo Fernandez penalty."
""How you disallow a goal like that is unbelievable," Silva told TNT Sports after the game. "We have meetings with referees and people in charge, we all want to win. VAR is not here to re-referee the game. I would prefer not to say something more because I would be punished. I want to be on the touchline next week to help my team, I don't want to be fined. But it has been a difficult start to the season with some decisions.""
Michael Salisbury has been dropped for Sunday's Liverpool v Arsenal match after PGMOL admitted a mistake in disallowing Fulham's goal against Chelsea. Salisbury served as VAR during Chelsea's 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge, with goals from Joao Pedro and an Enzo Fernandez penalty. Josh King's first-half strike for Fulham was ruled out following a VAR review. Fulham boss Marco Silva called the decision "unbelievable", and pundit Danny Murphy labelled it one of the worst VAR mistakes. PGMOL chief Howard Webb is believed to have contacted Fulham. John Brooks will replace Salisbury for the Anfield clash.
