The Premier League never fails to produce drama, and Arsenal’s shock with Newcastle United was no exception.
In the first half packed with intensity, two major arbitrary decisions took the spotlight, leaving the players of Arsenal and the fans smoking while Newcastle was able to capitalize.
The game switched to the Var intervention knife, and the fallout should dominate the conversations long after the final whistle.
The most controversial moment has come when Arsenal received a penalty, only for it to be overturned after a long Var check.
The initial decision seemed promising for the Gunners, who felt that they were lucky to take control of the match, but the referee was advised to review the images. Looking at it, the call was reversed, which was not suitable for the team of Mikel Arteta.
Many inside the stadium and looking at home, Arsenal had trouble making, with the decision provoking an instant debate among experts and supporters.
If that was not enough, Newcastle then struck on the other side, marking what turned out to be a legitimate goal despite the calls of the Arsenal players.
Nick Woltemade directed the ball in the net when he appeared that he had pushed Gabriel into the accumulation.
The Magpies are 1-0 and Arteta would not be satisfied with the way things have proven for his team in St. James’ Park.
Arsenal will not be satisfied with the Var call
Zinny Boswell of Sky Sports wrote on the website of the website match:
“This penalty decision clearly shared an opinion.
“You can see thatrsenal has the impression that everything happened against them. It will undoubtedly be a fascinating second half and, depending on the result, potentially an interview with Arteta blockbuster.”
Whatever the possible result, this match is intended to remember its arbitrary controversies as much as for football itself.
If Arsenal fails to obtain a positive result, all eyes will be on the post-match interview with Arteta, which promises to be fiery.
