🔥🏟️l’m sorry Arsenal fans,this never what I told Him today”, Howard webb finally reveals what He told the referee before He overturned William Saliba yellow card to Red card situation – Apologize for Any inconveniences that may have happened

Jamie Carragher sparked controversy on social media by questioning whether PGMOL chief Howard Webb influenced the decision to upgrade William Saliba’s yellow card to a red during Arsenal’s Premier League match against Bournemouth. The incident occurred in the first half when referee Rob Jones initially booked Saliba for a foul on Bournemouth’s Evanilson. VAR intervened, reviewing the situation and ultimately recommending the upgrade, leading to Saliba’s dismissal and outrage among Arsenal fans, who now fear he will miss an important match against Liverpool.

Carragher, known for his candid opinions, suggested on social media that Webb, seen on his phone in the stands, might have played a role in the contentious decision. His remarks ignited a debate, with some fans supporting Carragher’s suspicions, while others defended the VAR process, claiming the decision was based on established guidelines. Webb’s phone usage during the match further fueled discussions about officiating in the Premier League.

Arsenal fans expressed their frustration by chanting against Webb and PGMOL, accusing them of unfairly targeting their team. The match, still scoreless at halftime, deteriorated for Arsenal after Saliba’s red card, compounding the challenges for Mikel Arteta, whose squad was already missing key players like Martin Ødegaard and Bukayo Saka.

In response to the backlash, the Premier League issued a statement clarifying the decision to upgrade Saliba’s card. They explained that VAR advised Rob Jones to conduct an on-field review, concluding that Saliba’s foul denied a clear goal-scoring opportunity for Bournemouth. Although this explanation aimed to clarify the situation, it did little to calm Arsenal fans, who viewed it as another instance of inconsistent officiating against their club.

As Arsenal prepares for a critical match against Liverpool without Saliba, the decision remains divisive among fans and analysts. Carragher’s suggestion of Webb’s potential influence adds controversy to what was meant to be a straightforward officiating matter. For Arsenal, the immediate focus will be on regrouping for a significant challenge ahead while dealing with the aftermath of the Bournemouth match and ongoing injuries.
