Howard Webb believes that the red card decision against Myles Lewis-Skelly was wrong, but not a horrendous one. He defended referee Michael Oliver and his officials, saying that while the call was not correct, it was not an egregious mistake either. The VAR audio revealed that there was confusion regarding the contact on Doherty’s ankle, with the assistant VAR noting that the first impact was on the Achilles area. Webb expressed that a yellow card would have been more appropriate in this situation, as the high contact from Lewis-Skelly was not deemed to be excessive force or brutality. Overall, the decision to send off Lewis-Skelly sparked controversy and debate within the football community. Hello! How can I assist you today?
