The VAR dilemma and Arsenal’s statement

Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone, to dissect an eventful game at St James’ Park, that saw Arsenal lose their first league game of the season.

Bruno Guimarães should have seen red before half time, and VAR concluded there wasn’t enough wrong with Newcastle’s goal for it to be ruled out.

Mikel Arteta was furious in his post match press conference, calling the officiating embarrassing and a disgrace. Arsenal released a statement the following day echoing the manager’s words, which has caused a stir on social media.

The panel discuss the mistakes made, and what needs to change going forward. Plus, why are we creating so few chances this season, and a look ahead to Sevilla.
