Former Arsenal striker, Ian Wright, has expressed his outrage over Newcastle's controversial winning goal against Arsenal, resulting in a lengthy VAR review.

Anthony Gordon's goal during Saturday's match at St. James' Park has sparked a heated debate among football fans. The goal was awarded after an extensive VAR review, which has left Arsenal and their supporters in uproar.

VAR Review Causes Controversy

The use of VAR in the game has come under scrutiny after replays were checked to determine if the ball had gone out of play in the lead-up to Gordon's goal. Additionally, VAR reviewed a possible offside and foul before ultimately awarding the goal.

Wright's Social Media Response

Ian Wright took to social media to share his frustration over the decision. He posted a new angle of the incident on X, formerly known as Twitter, showing Gabriel falling to the ground with Joelinton's hands on his back. Alongside the picture, Wright wrote, "Bro. I'm done with people saying this is not a foul, 50 f***ing 50."

Arteta's Outrage and Arsenal's Support

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, also expressed his dissatisfaction with the officiating, labeling it "embarrassing" and a "disgrace." He suggested that the officials' decision had brought the Premier League into disrepute. Arsenal later released a public statement in support of their manager, who is not expected to face punishment from the FA beyond a warning and no fine.

The controversy surrounding Newcastle's goal and the subsequent reactions from Ian Wright and Mikel Arteta have set social media alight, with fans and pundits alike joining the debate on whether the goal should have been awarded.
