<p>The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) chief, Howard Webb, has admitted Michael Oliver should have sent off Manchester City’s Mateo Kovacic during their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.</p>, <p>Kovacic was shown a yellow card in the first half for a dangerous tackle on Martin Odegaard.</p>, <p>The Croatian midfielder then escaped a second booking for a foul on Declan Rice.</p>, <p>Webb, speaking on Mic’d Up, said: “I do think he was fortunate. I mean, obviously, the VAR can’t get involved; a second yellow is not something the VAR is able to get involved in but I think he was an extremely fortunate player to stay on the field of play.</p>, <p>“The referee, one of our best referees, one of the best referees in the world, Michael Oliver, will no doubt review that.”</p>
