PGMOL chief Howard Webb is calling an emergency meeting of referees.

The Premier League referees are under scrutiny after a series of high profile errors this weekend.

The most egregious may have an impact on the title race, with Brentford's equaliser against Arsenal incorrectly given by VAR.

A Brentford player was offside during the goal, but human error" resulted in VAR not drawing the offside lines to check if that specific player was offside.

Brighton had a goal wrongly disallowed against Crystal Palace as the VAR drew the offside line from the wrong defender.

Webb, who the Daily Mail states was furious at the errors this weekend, with the offending referees likely to be suspended or punished in some other way.
