Lol, was the official playing advantage there?

 

[WindyCityDeac]

Shocking that an important decision is going Arsenal’s way. It’s about time they caught a break

 

[DeacOnCapeCod]

can't see how that goal stands. Solanke not even making a play for the ball.

Any other player and they ignore it. But yeah, I agree, no chance they allow it.

finally

after a season-long witch hunt

 

[Gooner]

what a resilient club

In the face of insurmountable odds, truly the biggest underdog story

for the record (I.e. oldgoldbeard) I want Arsenal to win and somehow take out City

but the notion that they’re targeted by VAR — or not a beneficiary of VAR in this game — is just ridiculous

Seconded.

 

[HuskyDeac]

I missed the potential red card but they've definitely been fortunate on the two VAR reviews.

No one is saying so

The victim mentality of Arsenal fans is next level

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

you’re posting like a victim, whether you can hear yourself or not

 

[Gooner]

all good, Juice

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

You’re assigning what you want to hear and I get that.

Likewise

But I didn’t suggest anything to indicate we are in some way being wronged today.

sure you did — you complained about the lack of red card

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

all good, Juice

likewise once more

I like you — I’m just here for objective discussion!

singling you out because I don’t think you’re a lost cause

I didn’t complain (or at least was not intending it to be, whether you believe me or not), I was just trying to note that on average, the VAR checks in the first half evened out. And it is 3 games in 4 with what I think (and what the non-Arsenal internet has agreed in each case) are red card tackles not being given. Again, I’m not suggesting it’s some anti-Arsenal bias, just that it was a missed call from VAR who recently have gone even further into “don’t overturn on-field” than earlier this season. For all teams, not just Arsenal. But Arsenal is who is playing right now.

 

[Gooner]

And to preempt Windy, Mikel Arteta hasn’t said anything recently about missed VAR checks so you don’t have to waste any time googling UK news articles

The Robbies should've dressed as Peaky Blinders.
