EXCLUSIVE: PGMOL Chief Howard Webb called all officials to Stockley Park for an emergency meeting after two HOWLERS on Saturday that saw incorrect lines lead to an offside goal for Brentford standing and a legal Brighton goal chalked off

New refs’ chief Howard Webb has summoned all officials to Stockley Park for an emergency summit after two embarrassing – and potentially crucial – VAR blunders in one day.

In a scarcely-believable cock-up revealed by Sportsmail, bungling video official Lee Mason forgot to put the right lines down to adjudge whether a Brentford player was offside in the build-up to their equaliser during Saturday’s draw with title-chasing Arsenal the Emirates.

And on a dark afternoon for the under-fire system Brighton saw a goal chalked off in a draw at rivals Crystal Palace after VAR John Brooks drew the offside line from the WRONG defender.
