Howard Webb admits VAR was WRONG to send David Coote to pitchside monitor over West Ham's winning penalty against Man United in game that got Erik ten Hag sacked - as referee chief urges officials to

Referees' chief Howard Webb has accepted that the VAR should not have sent David Coote to the pitchside monitor over a decision whether to award West Ham a penalty in their match against Manchester United. Howard Webb has admitted that VAR made a mistake in sending David Coote to the pitchside monitor regarding a decision over whether to award West Ham a penalty against Man United The referee did not originally give the penalty but changed his decision after rewatching it The incident sees defender Matthijs de Ligt challenge for the ball with striker Danny Ings The former referee, who officiated the 2010 World Cup final between Spain and the Netherlands, said: 'I thought it was a misread, Leon, by the VAR, which is normally really talented and reliable. The VAR settles on an angle before telling Coote to head over to the London Stadium monitor Jarrod Bowen ended up dispatching the spot kick to condemn Man United to a 2-1 defeat It proved to be Erik ten Hag's final game as Red Devils boss as he was sacked a day later The show gives viewers an insight into conversations between on-field officials and the team at Stockley Park and, in this case, Coote initially says, 'No, no, no', as the contact between de Ligt and Ings takes place. Coote described Jurgen Klopp as a 'German ****' in a foul-mouthed tirade during a video and has since been suspended by refereeing chiefs PGMOL while they investigate Coote tells the camera 'that f***ing last video cannot go anywhere' in the second video uploaded online while the man identified as Kitt says 'let's not 'f***ing ruin his career' The referee and former Liverpool boss Klopp had several runs in with each other over the years PGMOL, the body responsible for refereeing games in England, are investigating the authenticity of the footage in question, which Webb discussed on Tuesday night.
