LONDON : John Brooks has been replaced as the Video Assistant Referee official for two games after wrongly disallowing a Brighton & Hove Albion goal in a Premier League draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Brighton saw their quest for European football hit a speed bump at Palace when they were held to a 1-1 draw but Pervis Estupinan's goal was wrongly chalked off for offside. In another error on Saturday, Ivan Toney's equaliser for Brentford saw Arsenal drop two points in the title race but replays showed it should have been ruled out for offside in the build-up.
Former English referees chief Keith Hackett on Monday told the BBC that the VAR errors were “lamentable”.
