Referee Chris Kavanagh and his officiating team have been removed from the Premier League's weekend schedule following a series of high-profile errors during Newcastle's 3-1 FA Cup win over Aston Villa.
Operating without VAR, the officials failed to spot that Tammy Abraham was offside for Villa's opener and missed a dangerous lunge by Lucas Digne.
Former official Mark Halsey has today called for PGMOL chief Howard Webb to step down, claiming the standard of officiating has hit a three-year low.
