Lee Mason has reportedly been removed from his duties on Liverpool's Premier League game with Sheffield United, following his free-kick debacle at West Brom on Saturday.

Brighton defender Lewis Dunk scored a quick free-kick in the first-half, but Mason disallowed it before changing his mind and awarding the goal.

But after VAR checked the goal, Mason had to blow his whistle again to confirm that it had been ruled out, sparking angry reactions from the Brighton players.
