The goal scored by Gabriel Martinelli against Manchester United on Sunday was disallowed by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), which has drawn criticism from Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.
Following his completion of Bukayo Saka’s pass, Martinelli mistakenly believed he had given the Gunners the lead.
However, following the VAR review, the goal was ruled out for Martin Odegaard’s build-up foul on Christian Eriksen.
Arteta explained the goal’s disqualification to Sky Sports: “Lack of consistency. One of them is soft, and last week they fouled Aaron, but it was soft and not a foul.
“Bukayo committed a light foul, but it wasn’t a penalty. It is a foul today. Because they want to maintain a threshold in a crucial game, you can observe that there is no yellow card in the initial acts. difficult to comprehend
After Antony’s first-half goal was canceled out by Saka, Marcus Rashford scored twice to give United the victory.
