Latest Arsenal News: The Gunners lost 1-0 to Newcastle United at St. James’ Park. And this made the fans of the North London side really unhappy, as once again a poor refereeing call was the reason for the loss. To add to that, as always, VAR didn’t do it’s job. And this just made matters worse, with the team looking to climb up the points’ table.
Once again the officials did not let that happen. And Mikel Arteta was quite vocal about it and so were the fans. Neither were delighted with what they had seen. And Newcastle got all 3 points from a game that they didn’t deserve to win.
A 1-0 win, with a goal that should have never stood. And here are 4 reasons why!!
1. Ball had gone out of play!!
2. Clear push in the back for Gabriel, foul not given!!
3. Gordon was offside as Raya was ahead of him!!
4. Joelinton’s handball was not even checked; disgraceful
Fans On Twitter Had This To Say!!
🗣️Legendary #Arsenal defender Martin Keown: “Anywhere else on the pitch thats a foul from Joelinton on Gabriel. Two hands on his back. Thats why Gabriel is stooping. There may have been an offside. Virtually everything is wrong with this goal that you can think of.” 💯 pic.twitter.com/3WVRDPPVsb

Rule states that there has to be two players behind the goalkeeper for the player scoring to be onside. Ball out of play. Foul on Gabriel. pic.twitter.com/jWoWMC5btJ

Same League. Same season. VAR overrules ref and disallows United goal. VAR says goal stands for Newcastle. Beyond incompetent. It’s negligence. Which means clubs should be taking action pic.twitter.com/oi5ETterm0
