Lee Mason will NOT be on VAR duty this weekend after the video official failed to draw the correct lines to rule out Ivan Toney's late equaliser that cost Arsenal points in the title race in 1-1 draw on Saturday at the Emirates

Lee Mason has not been selected to officiate in any of the coming weekend's Premier League fixtures, after his shocking blunder at the weekend drew widespread criticism.

Sportsmail reported that Mason - operating as the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) - on Saturday at the Emirates, failed to correctly draw the lines on the replay to adjudge whether a Brentford player was offside in the build-up to the late equaliser.

Ivan Toney headed home in the 74th minute to deny the Gunners all three points, in a weekend that saw Manchester City close the gap at the top of the table to just three points.
