VAR: Referee Michael Salisbury dropped for the next round of Premier League fixtures

Referee Michael Salisbury has been dropped for the next round of Premier League fixtures.

Salisbury was the VAR official who failed to intervene and award Brighton a second-half penalty during last Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Tottenham.

Refereeing body PGMOL admitted an error had been made and apologised to the Seagulls for not giving the spot-kick.

The match's on-pitch referee Stuart Attwell has been selected for this weekend's matches.

Attwell, who did not react to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's tackle on Kaoru Mitoma inside the Spurs' box, will be the VAR official for Wolves' home game with Brentford on Saturday.
