Anthony Gordon’s winner for Newcastle stood after a triple VAR check at St James’ Park.
Arsenal have thrown their support behind manager Mikel Arteta after his angry post-match comments about VAR after a 1-0 defeat at Newcastle
“We’d also like to acknowledge the huge effort and performance from our players and travelling supporters at St James’ Park. Arteta failed to hide his anger at St James’ Park after referee Stuart Attwell awarded the Newcastle goal following a triple VAR check to see whether the ball had gone out of play before Joe Willock’s cross, whether Joelinton had fouled Arsenal defender Gabriel and whether Gordon had been offside.
“I can understand there were three checks with it and the goal was still given. But I’m still scratching my head at what Mikel Arteta and Arsenal are unhappy about with that goal – what part of it? “The last bit is that it wasn’t given offside and VAR didn’t have an angle or camera it could see because everyone was in close proximity. So what do you want VAR or the officials to do?
