Brighton & Hove Albion forward João Pedro has addressed his recent elbow incident during the team's 0-0 draw against Brentford on Friday.
In the 77th minute, Pedro appeared to swing an elbow at Brentford's Yegor Yarmolyuk. The incident was reviewed by VAR, which determined that no red card was warranted.
Following the match, Pedro took to Instagram to share a tribute to teammate Solly March, who made his return after a 434-day absence due to a knee injury. March's comeback was a highlight in the otherwise goalless draw.
The Premier League issued a statement clarifying that the referee's decision not to issue a red card to Pedro was upheld by VAR, as it was not "clear and obviously wrong."
The match concluded with Brighton extending their winless streak to six games, placing them 10th in the Premier League standings.
