Arsenal star Gabriel failed to score against Newcastle United in Newcastle last week.
That’s what fans heard via VAR audio of Anthony Gordonand#039’s game-winning goal incident.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was furious after the game, saying he was ashamed and embarrassed by the poor refereeing.
At the time of the incident, however, VAR said: “I don’t see anything particularly wrong with Gabriel. I see two hands on his back, but I don’t see any push to justify him flying forward like that.”
PGMOL boss Howard Webb added: “It was a big moment – an unusual situation where VAR has three aspects to check whether a goal decision on the field should be overturned or not. We can see that the ball goes very close to the goal line – don’t forget we have an assistant referee who is on the right – the ball didn’t gain much momentum as it goes over the goal line so the head #039 looks. better than any of our cameras.
“And we know the ball is crooked so it could cross the line and we need proof that it’s gone and we don’t have that here. Then the ball comes and Joelinton challenges Gabriel and it could be bad. VAR determines that .the evidence in the record is not sufficiently clear to warrant interference and warrants review for plain error.
andquot;I think that the discussions we have seen and the opinion shared in many of the analyzes suggest that it was a lack of appropriate intervention due to subjectivity. And then one of those unusual situations where the ball goes between two players and trying to pinpoint when the ball leaves Joelinton is really hard to figure out because the players are so close together.
andquot;So, again, there is no conclusive evidence that Gordon was offside the last time he touched the ball. VAR examined it diligently and could not find any clear evidence to support the goal. The process was actually correct.andquot;
