WILLIAM SALIBA saw red to spark controversy in Arsenal’s clash at Bournemouth.

The centre-back earned his first ever sending-off as VAR intervened over a professional foul.

Saliba pulled back Evanilson as the midfielder attempted to burst completely clear in mid-pitch.

VAR Jared Gillett told on-pitch ref Rob Jones to the monitor.

And Jones had no doubts as he waved a red to reduce the Gunners to 10 men.

It means Saliba will be banned for only ONE game.

That’s because it was not for violent conduct, which mean three-match suspensions.

THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
