In a surprising turn of events, FIFA has reportedly expressed significant concern regarding the performance of PGMOL official Howard Webb during the controversial Bournemouth vs Arsenal match.
Webb, a well-known figure in English officiating, has faced harsh criticism for his role in the wrongful intervention that led to William Salibaโs red card.
The decision, which altered the course of the game, has been widely regarded as a grave error. FIFAโs communication, described as โregrettableโ by insiders, questioned Webbโs attentiveness and ability to make accurate, timely judgments during the match.
According to sources, FIFA officials stated, โHe wasnโt paying attention to the game at that moment and had to pass a straight judgment,โ a remark that highlights the refereeโs lack of focus during a critical point in the game.
