Polish official Bartosz Frankowski had been appointed as the video assistant referee, with compatriot Tomasz Musial his assistant VAR.

Musial senior made 46 appearances for Hereford United between 1980-1983, he was a Polish international and famously played in the game at Wembley in 1973 where Poland famously stopped England qualifying for the 1974 World Cup.

Frankowski and Musial are said to have had alcohol in their system and were taken to a ‘sobering-up centre’
