Arsenal’s goal against Manchester United was reportedly wrongfully disallowed by the VAR. The report has also mentioned that there were also similar 5 decisions.
Hence, it is clear that the referee controlling the technology is also making mistake. There is also a chance that the Gunners will lose the league title because of the mistake.
VAR HAS ALSO MADE MISTAKES THIS SEASON
According to reports, the goal of Arsenal against Manchester United should have stood. Gabriel Martinelli scored the goal to give the Gunners a 1-0 lead. However, the goal was disallowed after VAR intertwined. In their explanation, they said that Martin Odegaard fouled Eriksen in the build-up. Hence, they had to disallow the goal. However, it looks like the independent panel does not agree with the explanation. They have said that the goal should have stood.
Hence, it is clear that the VAR in the Premier League is making mistakes. The report also claims that more 5 decisions were also wrong. Therefore, the reason for hating VAR technology is quite clear for the fans. Many thought that VAR would make decision-making smooth for the referees. However, technology is creating more problems rather than solutions. Arsenal are also a prey of the problems. Many fans are also claiming that the decision can impact the final league position.
ARSENAL FANS WILL HOPE THAT THE WRONG VAR DECISION DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR TITLE FIGHT
A number of neutral fans are saying that Arsenal could have lost 3-1 anyway in case the goal was allowed. However. they will also have to see that allowing the goal could have changed the tactics of Mikel Arteta. The disallowance of the goal also impacted the confidence of the Gunners. Hence, Mikel Arteta is going to be not happy with the latest update. Many Gunners fans are also saying that this loss against Manchester United is likely going to impact the title challenge.
This is not an exaggeration as everybody knows the difficulty of beating Manchester City. Hence, it is important for Arsenal to get every point possible in the season. Therefore, losing 3 points because of the referee’s decision makes it difficult for the Gunners in their title challenge. At the moment, they are currently above Manchester City. Although, if City wins by 3 points, Arsenal are going to surely shout at Tierney’s decision. The fans will also start abusing the league on social media.
It is clear that Premier League should teach the referees to use the technology efficiently. However, for Arsenal, the target is not the prey of bad decisions. They also have to make sure that they try to win their rest of the games in the second half of the season. Mikel Arteta will also hope to bring in his priority signings in the January transfer window.
