Newcastle United may feel vindicated in celebrating their 1-0 victory over Arsenal after a new TV camera angle appeared to show Anthony Gordon’s controversial match winner might well have been legal after all. A furious Mikel Arteta raged at the officials and VAR for their collective decision to award the goal after deciding that there was inconclusive evidence to rule out the goal, despite running three separate checks in the build-up to the goal.<\/p>\n
The match’s most controversial moment came when Joe Willock picked up a loose ball that had spun wide of the Arsenal goal. It initially looked as if the ball had rolled over the line as the midfielder, positioned on the touchline on the left side of the pitch, ran towards the penalty area to send in a cross.<\/p>\n
But play continued before Joelinton’s physical challenge on Gabriel forced the ball to fall into the path of Gordon and the forward swept home into an empty net after David Raya was caught out. There were also appeals for offside after it was claimed the ball struck Joelinton.<\/p>\n
On all three counts, it was decided that VAR could not find a clear and obvious reason to chalk off the goal and referee Stuart Attwell signalled that it would stand. Hours after the game, a replay on beIN Sports showed that the entire ball did not cross the line.<\/p>\n
