EPL trolled over ‘absolute shambles’ picture on website

FANS have slammed the Premier League as an "absolute shambles" over a bizarre photo choice on their website.

Refereeing decisions once again caused huge controversy over the weekend as Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly was sent off for a challenge on Wolves defender Matt Doherty.

The 18-year-old was red carded for serious foul play and will now serve a three-match ban.

It led to supporters swatting up on the rules of the game, with fans left baffled by a picture on the Prem's website.

One fan investigating the laws on high foot challenges noticed that a snap of Jeremy Doku kicking Alexis Mac Allister was used as the main image on the page.

The challenge occurred during Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Liverpool in March last season.

It proved to be one of the most controversial refereeing moments in the title race as Doku's last-gasp high foot went unpunished.

PGMOL chief Howard Webb later came out and BACKED the decision, saying VAR was correct to not give Liverpool a penalty.

So fans were left utterly baffled by the photo being used to illustrate a high foot, with one saying: "Premier league website using this Doku challenge on Mac Allister as an example of a high foot when it wasn't even given as a foul in the game. Absolute shambles."

Another added: "They’re the biggest wind-up merchants going."

A third wrote: "I thought this was fake."

The point City picked up proved crucial as they ended up finishing just two ahead of Arsenal to win the title.

Official Michael Oliver was the referee that day and he was again the man with the whistle for Lewis-Skelly's red card.

Former head of the PGMOL Keith Hackett claims Oliver and Darren England on the VAR made a "major error" by sending off the Arsenal wonderkid.

He even suggested that the under-fire official "needs a rest for a couple of weeks" to recover from the mistake and that VAR needs reforming.
