After Arsenal's controversial game against Newcastle United, Piers Morgan joined talkSPORT Breakfast and admitted that he felt Mikel Arteta used the VAR debacle to mask how bad the Gunners were on the night.
The referee and VAR were right to award Newcastle United's winning goal against Arsenal, says the Premier League's Independent Key Match Incidents Panel.Referee Stuart Attwell awarded the goal after three separate VAR checks by Andy Madley at Stockley Park.
These were to see if the ball had gone out, if a foul had been committed by Joelinton on Gabriel, or whether there was an offside against Gordon. The panel voted, with a 4-1 result in favour of the goal standing, stating: "Although Joelinton does have his hands on Gabriel, there isn't enough to award a foul as Gabriel had made an action to play the ball before any contact."His 36th-minute challenge on Sean Longstaff was deemed 'a very dangerous challenge and the type of tackle that needs to be eradicated.'star Bruno Guimaraes' arm on Jorginho's head during the 45th minute also resulted in a missed red card.
