A former Premier League referee has noted the three major errors during Newcastle’s game with Arsenal.
described the decision to award Newcastle's winning goal against the Gunners as"disgraceful" and"embarrassing", while Arsenal released a statement the following day supporting their manager’s complaints.VAR also checked for an apparent offside, but the decision was not overturned as it was not possible to determine the moment of contact when the ball was passed to Gordon.after Arsenal’s defeat at Newcastle.
“Had ref Stuart Attwell disallowed the goal or VAR Andy Madley recommended a review then there would have been few complaints.“On the other two checks, the TV camera angles shown were inconclusive as to whether Joe Willock kept the ball in play during the build-up. VAR tried to look if Gordon was also offside.
“Havertz dodged a clear sending-off for a poor challenge on Sean Longstaff which ticked all the boxes for serious foul play under Law 12.“Guimaraes should also have been dismissed for violent conduct after his forearm smash on the back of Jorginho’s head.
