William Saliba was shown a red card during Saturday’s clash with Bournemouth.
The French defender was initially shown a yellow card by referee Rob Jones, but it was later upgraded to a red card after a review by VAR.
But interestingly the camera cut to PGMOL chief Howard Webb who was apparently on his phone.

More fan reaction to Howard Webb:
One said: ‘Think @FA_PGMOL should be clarifying what this was about, this looks suspicious as f**k.’
Another added: ‘Webb to Var : Yes. I want liverpool to cook them. Send him off.’
Saliba’s red card means that he will miss next week’s clash against league leaders Liverpool at the Emirates
