Arsenal fans in meltdown over ‘reports VAR made wrong call on Stones offside’ with alternative angle causing confusion
ARSENAL fans are up in arms following reports VAR made the incorrect decision to award John Stones’ goal in their 4-1 defeat to Manchester City.
Stones gave his side a 2-0 lead with a brilliant header on the stroke of half-time.
The goal was initially ruled out for offside but following a lengthy VAR check the decision was overturned due to Ben White’s foot playing Stones onside.
However some fans are convinced the wrong call was made after another angle of the incident emerged which appeared to show Stones was offside.
One fan reacted by saying: “This looks proper dodgy to me.”
Another added: “What a joke.”
A third said: “Why does this keep happening?”
And another commented: “They absolutely got it wrong. God knows how, but they did. Lucky for them it was a comfortable win for City.”
The PGMOL have confirmed the correct decision was made with NBC Sports understood to have later clarified the alternative angle arguing otherwise was wrong.
Some fans are also unhappy Jack Grealish was only booked for an altercation with Thomas Partey where he grabbed the Arsenal star by his shirt collar.
