Arsenal referee accused of "phenomenal mistake" after Bukayo Saka denied penalty

Arsenal were denied a penalty during their win over Leicester with Ian Wright bemoaning the "phenomenal mistake".

Bukayo Saka was bundled over in the box by Foxes star Harry Souttar, but Craig Pawson refused to point to the spot in what was a frustrating afternoon of officiating decisions for the Premier League leaders. VAR chalked off a goal scored by Leandro Trossard, but Ian Wright was particularly angered by the failure to award his former side a penalty.

Arsenal were able to secure the win regardless with Gabriel Martinelli scoring the only goal at the King Power, thus allowing Mikel Arteta's side to maintain their leads at the summit after Manchester City also claimed the three points.
