The PGMOL have admitted that the decision to not award Brighton a penalty against Tottenham Hotspur yesterday was a mistake.
Spurs secured all three points, winning 2-1 in north London but not without some controversy along the way. Roberto De Zerbi's side had two goals chalked off by VAR and were denied what looked to be a clear penalty at 1-1 when Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg appeared to foul Kaoru Mitoma in the box.
PGMOL's chief refereeing officer Howard Webb has now apologised to the Seagulls, admitting that the onfield officials and VAR got it wrong. After the match, Brighton defender Lewis Dunk gave a scathing verdict of the officiating, questioning the use of VAR.
