Jamie Carragher took to social media to question whether Howard Webb stepped in after William Saliba was sent off in Arsenal’s match with Bournemouth.
Saliba’s dismissal is another issue for Mikel Arteta to contend with. The Spaniard is already without captain Martin Odegaard due to injury, though he hinted on Friday that the Norwegian playmaker could be fit enough to face Liverpool next week.
The Gunners were also without Bukayo Saka against the Cherries after the winger picked up an injury on international duty.
The Premier League released a statement explaining why Saliba’s yellow card had been upgraded to a red while the match was ongoing, outlining that the Arsenal star had denied an obvious goal-scoring opportunity.
