Howard Webb clarified the differentiation in Saliba's and Adarabioyo's decisions, emphasizing that the trajectory of the ball was the crucial difference influencing the referees' calls.
In a detailed explanation, Webb noted that while Tosin's challenge on Jota warranted a yellow card, it did not equate to a denial of a goalscoring opportunity due to the ball's path.
Webb admitted the yellow card for Saliba was 'clearly and obviously wrong' and explained that VAR intervened because Saliba's tackle denied a clear goalscoring opportunity.
The discussion highlighted how interpretations of situation can vary between referees, with Webb insisting that the differing angles of the ball were pivotal in both scenarios.
