Kovacic 'was extremely fortunate to stay on the pitch'

Howard Webb, speaking on Match Officials: Mic'd Up, looked at the challenge by Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic in Sunday's Premier League match at Arsenal.
The Croatian - already on a booking - fouled Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard, but was not shown a second yellow card by referee Michael Oliver.
"Obviously the VAR can't get involved, second yellows are something that the VAR is not able to get involved in," Webb said.
"But I think he was an extremely fortunate player to stay on the field of play.
"The referee - one of our best referees, one of the best referees in the world - Michael Oliver, will no doubt review that."
