Webber: Jackson has no problem with the red card, his elbow is excessive and violent

May 14th, Chelsea lost 0-2 away to Newcastle in the 36th round of the Premier League. In the 35th minute of the first half, Blues forward Jackson elbowed Botman. Referee Brooks first gave a yellow card, but changed the red card after VAR intervened.

PGMOL director and former Premier League whistle Weber said in his interpretation of the penalty: "We think this VAR suggests that Jackson's red card review is a very good intervention. Of course, when players compete for the air, there will be some physical contact, especially when they take off, their arms will swing and accidental contact will also occur.

" Jackson looked at Botman, which is very important, and it proves that Jackson noticed Botman's position. So it's hard to say that it's an accident when Jackson's arm moves towards Botman's face. Instead of jumping towards the ball, Jackson raised his forearm and jumped towards Botman. He looked at Botman several times, so he knew where Botman was.

"Then Jackson's forearm touched Botman's body part, and you can see Botman's head tilted back when touched. Such a serious foul requires the player to use his power excessively and violently, and we think that Botman is already in danger in this case. Therefore, we believe that the red card is a legitimate penalty and a timely correction of the yellow card error."
