Premier League referee Jon Moss has been left out of this weekend’s Premier League fixtures following his decision to send off Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka against Swansea.

Arsenal superstar Xhaka is facing a three-game ban after receiving a straight red card for a cynical 70th-minute trip on Modou Barrow.

Jon Moss will not officiate any Premier League game this weekend following his decision to show Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka a straight red card against Swansea.

Granit Xhaka made no attempt to play the ball as he caught Modou Barrow

The Switzerland midfielder made no attempt to play the ball and instead kicked out at the Swans’ striker, who was later substituted.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger had no issue with Moss’ decision during the 3-2 win at the Emirates.

Mike Dean will take charge of Arsenal's clash against Middlesbrough this weekend.
