AUDIO of the decision to overturn a penalty awarded to Kai Havertz during Arsenals' victory over Manchester United has been released.<\/p>\n
The audio and video footage was released as part of the new Match Officials: Mic'd Up show on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The programme sees PGMOL chief Howard Webb review the weekend's decisions alongside Michael Owen in the Sky Sports studio.<\/p>\n
The show sees the refs chief go through both correct and incorrect calls from the weekend in an attempt to increase transparency in the refereeing process.<\/p>\n
Tuesday's show saw them break down the decision to overturn Anthony Taylor's call to award a penalty to Kai Havertz after he was judged to have been fouled by Aaron Wan-Bissaka – with Webb concluding it was the right call.<\/p>\n
Webb said: "I was watching this game and thought to myself, that looks like a penalty kick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"At full speed as Kai Havertz goes between Wan-Bissaka and\u00a0Casemiro. The penalty was given and we know that the VAR will always check every penalty situation.<\/p>\n
"It was a good use of VAR. The referee believed that Wan-Bissaka had tripped Havertz, but the video shows something quite different that there's no actual contact initially.<\/p>\n
"Another step by Havertz, his leg goes into Wan-Bissaka. The VAR, really calm and concise, recognises all of that, thinks it's a clear and obvious error. I agree. Recommends a review. We get to the right decision."<\/p>\n
The man in charge of VAR that day was Australian Jared Gilette, who explained to Taylor that while on first watch it did seem as though Wan-Bissaka had tripped Havertz, replays showed that the German had let his leg trail – and initiated the contact as he went down.<\/p>\n

Instead, Declan Rice struck a dramatic 96th minute winner for the Gunners before Gabriel Jesus scored a third to seal the winfor Arsenal.<\/p>\nPremier League release VAR audio of Onana ‘foul’ vs Wolves with fans left fuming<\/h3>\n
