John Brooks has been axed as the VAR official for both Liverpool vs Everton and Arsenal vs Manchester City.
On a weekend dominated by refereeing howlers, Brooks disallowed a Brighton goal against Crystal Palace after making a 'human error' and failing to draw the offside lines from the correct defender. A string of mistakes across the weekend's games saw PGMOL chief Howard Webb call an emergency meeting at Stockley Park.
And Brooks has been removed from VAR duties for tonight's Merseyside derby and Wednesday's title showdown between Arsenal and Manchester City. Andre Marriner will now take over for the Merseyside derby with David Coote in place for Wednesday's game.
