Furious Arsenal fans have hit out at the match officials after VAR failed to rule out Brentford's equalising goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners headed into Saturday afternoon's clash against the Bees five points clear of Manchester City having played a game fewer than the defending champions. Leandro Trossard's first goal for the club had nudged them into the lead just after the hour, but Ivan Toney restored parity just eight minutes later.
Brentford's equalising strike was mired in controversy, though, after VAR was called in to check whether or not there was an offside. And despite a number of angles of the incident reflecting favourably for the hosts, Toney's strike was allowed to stand.
