Former Premier League referee, Keith Hackett, has called on Lee Mason to be sacked after it was discovered that he made an error leading to Brentford’s goal in the game versus Arsenal.
Mason failed to sufficiently investigate the controversial goal that saw the Bees equalize at the Emirates.
Leandro Trossard had put the league leaders in front before Ivan Toney headed home from close range to equalize for Brentford.
The goal was allowed to stand despite a lengthy VAR check which lasted more than three minutes.
Hackett, who refereed in the Premier League for almost 20 years, has now advised new PGMOL chief Howard Webb to fire Mason.
He said: “Howard Webb is now in charge of the PGMOL. One of the first things he should do is dismiss permanent VAR operator Lee Mason.
“This weekend, Mason lets another referee down by not disallowing the Brentford goal for offside. These are decisions that VAR should get right.”
