Arsenal direct X-rated three-word chant at Howard Webb after William Saliba rage

Send Push

Arsenal fans couldn't hide their anger at PGMOL chief Howard Webb after William Saliba was sent off in Saturday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth.

France international Saliba was shown a straight red card by referee Rob Jones after hauling Evanilson to the ground in the first half at the Vitality Stadium.

Jones initially cautioned Saliba with a yellow card but was sent to the monitor to re-inspect the incident after an intervention by the Video Assistant Referees at Stockley Park.

After reviewing the footage from several different angles, Saliba's punishment was upgraded from a yellow card to a red, ruling him out of next weekend's top-of-the-table Premier League clash against Liverpool.

However, supporters present at the Vitality Stadium disagreed with the decision and immediately vented frustration towards the PGMOL, the body responsible for referees in the English game, as chants of "F***k Howard Webb" could be heard.

Arsenal's miserable day was completed after they eventually suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Cherries, denting their Premier League title aspirations ahead of a home clash against league leaders Liverpool next Sunday.
