Saka is tripped first. Then dragged with both hands to the ground...

Now... That was interesting. Was a that a yellow given via VAR through a long winded process? Long VAR delay. Nothing comes of it. Ref randomly gives red card, after cautioning everything his team saw. VAR intervenes to lower red to a yellow. I know technically VAR can't give a yellow,.but...

It all comes down to the inconsistency of VAR or in this case, officials. Was it a foul? Yes he has clearly stopped the keeper making a simple catch. Go back a few match days and spurs V Leeds, their keeper wiped out by two spurs players at a corner and Kane taps into an empty net. One has 2...

But he doesn't fall and the hand stops the ball. His hand does go out if he were going to fall, but he doesn't, so surely a pen?

Anyone watching this? How was that not a penalty? Great block with the hand to stop the through ball.

Wouldn't you need to then ban overhead kicks? It's different to someone flying through the air from a distance with a super high foot.

This is the best I can do. I haven't seen a good angle from behind yet.

Two players standing in front of him in offside position as the shot came in.

Also, not entirely sure how the own goal was not disallowed? Had Martinez complained, sure it would have been?

Quite disappointed with the time wasting again. Martinez to get a caution for time wasting only in the 84th minute is rather disturbing to be quite honest. Is it part of the game? Yes, but to do it for the majority of a match and only get punished for it 6 mins from time is not on. Also to...

Unfortunately at Arsenal tickets are being bought by bots and getting sold for 10x the price or more, so CCTV probably won't do much in this case, unless a season ticket holder did it, then fair enough. Arsenal have a major issue with companies buying membership and bugging out ticketmaster to...

Having said that, VAR had one incident to review yesterday and they forgot to do the actual review.... They are sitting down at a computer with no pressure of players/managers arguing with them. No crowd influence. No physical exhaustion from running around. I can't imagine looking at an event...

Jogged about 10 yards and was still about 10 yards from the ref when he got his cards out.

Correct. All players stopped so it's quite different. Offside goal, everyone is playing to the whistle. Ref would have probably seen the shirt pull and given that. Very soft though.

Seen that. Not sure how you can forget to do your one job when you are called to do it. The second offside looks offside to the eye, so he thought, na no need to draw lines? Another VAR decision he has got massively wrong. Punishment? Probably 1 week off and back to making mistakes. Strange...

Yes because during the majority of extra time, Toney, Mee and Raya were on the floor. Then eventually Toney was subbed.

That's odd? 3 players went towards him and he booked the furthest one away? Was there anymore to it than that?

Offside for the block as it's stops Gabriel closing down the attacker. As you've mentioned, the goal itself looks very offside, haven't seen any lines yet though, camera angles can be deceptive. I would Love to know the score the ref gets for this match. His officiating was fine, but the time...

3 clips for VAR training. I'm going DOGSO, Fabinho red - text book definition and Robertson was extremely lucky. Only seen one replay, but that was a ridiculous tackle

How Fernandes stayed on the pitch was the biggest mystery imo. A frustrated tackle where he raked the guys leg high up the leg was nothing short of disgraceful. That was malicious. No attempt to play the ball and most certainly endangered his opponent.
