Weber talks about Mins elbow strike: He is trying to protect space, not deliberately waves his arms at the other party

May 15th News Recently, PGMOL Chief Operating Officer Howard Webber and Irving discussed the controversial penalty incident in this round of the Premier League. The former explained in detail why Mins elbowed Scott and was not played.

Minz hit Bournemouth player Scott with his elbow in a scramble during a scramble during Aston Villa's 1-0 away win over Bournemouth. When asked by Irving why the referee had no indication of Mins, Webber said: "In this incident, Bournemouth's Scott approached Mins from behind. Mins took the ball and realized someone was behind him, so he stepped and moved and his arm was raised."

"We thought it was to protect the space, not deliberately waved his arm to the other side. When you watch at normal speed, the arm does lift quickly, but it doesn't really push backwards to the opponent."
