Arsenal Fans Fumes As Trossard Goal Controversially Ruled Out By VAR

Trossard’s goal was ruled out because of a foul in the build-up, which saw White tangle with Ward as a corner was swung in.

The Arsenal defender was adjudged to have ‘sustained holding’ on the Leicester goalkeeper.

Needless to say, the decision to overturn the goal angered Arsenal fans on social media.

Below are some of the reactions from Arsenal fans on Twitter:

One Twitter user wrote: “How can you spot Ben White’s hand resting on Danny Ward’s wrist but completely miss Saka being rugby tackled to the floor? I’ve got a few ideas.”

A second tweeted: “That’s a scandalous decision to disallow Trossard’s goal, Ben White literally just stood there and Danny Ward flaps at it.”

A third added: “Corruption at its finest peak. Absolutely shocking.”

A fourth commented: “If that’s a foul, then there’s about 5 or 6 fouls at every set piece that aren’t given in every game.”

Another said: “Completely insane. This happens on every corner kick.”

Arsenal have had a goal ruled out after a VAR intervention. As a Leicester fan, I feel relieved, but bemused by a decision that could not be described, under any circumstances, as a clear and obvious error.

I would think VAR decisions even themselves out across a season the same as referee decisions would. I get the impression Arsenal fans are already looking for excuses for when they don’t win the title, or am I wrong? #BBCFootball

Not only are arsenal having to play the opposition, they’re having to play against VAR, the useless people running it, and the officials. It makes every 3 points absolutely massive

I don’t understand these VAR officials they ain’t even talking about the foul on Saka which could’ve been a clear penalty. But yes let’s talk about how Arsenal could’ve gotten away with a goal which was a foul. Ah fucking corruption. I’m seeing worse goals given every week. Sick.
