Howard Webb supported VAR’s non-intervention after Sven Botman was booked for a challenge on Nicolas Jackson, ESPN reported on 20 October. He said the subjective incident lacked a clearly wrong element requiring an overturn.
Webb added that a red card would also have stood had the referee awarded one. His explanation concerns VAR’s intervention threshold in this incident, not a rescinded card or a new punishment.
