VAR Referees chief Howard Webb has contacted Arsenal and Brighton to explain 'significant errors" in the VAR process during their matches on Saturday which were "due to human error."

Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw by Brentford in which Ivan Toney's equaliser should have been ruled out for an offside in the build-up and Brighton had a first-half strike by Pervis Estupinan wrongly disallowed for offside in their 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace.
