LONDON — Referees chief Howard Webb has contacted Arsenal and Brighton after "significant errors" in their respective Premier League matches this weekend. The Professional Game Match Officials Limited says Webb explained there had been "human error" during the VAR process in both games. Ivan Toney's equalizer in Brentford's 1-1 draw with Arsenal should have been ruled out for an offside in the buildup. Brighton had a first-half goal by Pervis Estupinan wrongly disallowed for offside in its 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace.
