PGMO chief Howard Webb backs the decision to rule out a late West Ham goal against Arsenal in their 1-0 match. Speaking about the incident, Webb says the call to disallow the strike was “categorically” correct and describes it as a good use of VAR, adding that the offence leading to the decision was “clear and obvious.” He also comments that the same incident involved several holding-related actions noted during the build-up to the disallowed goal, indicating that the decision reflects the referee’s application of the relevant standard for overturning a call with video evidence. Both outlets report Webb’s view that the decision meets the threshold for intervention and that the use of VAR in this instance is justified. The match result therefore stands as Arsenal winning 1-0, with the late West Ham equaliser not counting following the VAR review.
