He raged: "So we all just watched the ball go out of play, then Gabriel get fouled, and then a clear offside. But VAR still gave Newcastle the goal. Just pathetic."

Absolutely shocking."Meanwhile, one more fumed: "That was the longest VAR check ever." According to the Sky Sports broadcast, the offside review could not rule out the goal as there was "no available angle to see the point of contact" from Joelinton.Mikel Arteta's side were unable to pull themselves level after the controversial opener.
