In round 23 of the 2022/23 English Premier League, consecutive mistakes from VAR caused Arsenal, Chelsea and Brighton to receive undesirable results.
In the recent matches in round 23 of the English Premier League, mistakes from VAR (Video Assistant Referee Technology) caused many matches to seriously affect the results.
Accordingly, the Mirror recently reported that Head of the British Professional Referees Association (PGMOL) Howard Webb ordered an emergency meeting with two people in charge of supervising the VAR department, Mr. Lee Mason and John Brooks.
Brentford scored an illegal goal against Arsenal due to violations from the VAR room.
Specifically, in the match between Arsenal and Brentford, the Premier League organizers confirmed that their VAR officer did not do his job well in the situation where Ivan Toney equalized for the Bees.
However, when monitoring the situation from the technical room, referee Lee Mason only focused on Pinnock – who was in an offside position but did not participate in the attack.
In the match on the same day, Brighton was also robbed of defender Pervis Estupinan’s goal by VAR.
Faced with these unnecessary mistakes, PGMOL recently apologized to the two clubs Arsenal and Brighton for the above mistakes.
Chelsea also had to regret losing a penalty when West Ham midfielder T. Soucek blocked the ball with his hand in the penalty area.
In addition, the Premier League organizers are also considering suspending the two main characters involved in this violation, Lee Mason and John Brooks.
In parallel with the cases of Arsenal and Brighton, Chelsea is also one of the unfortunate victims in the last round 23 of the Premier League.
