Former Arsenal forward Paul Merson believes Mikel Arteta's side should have been given a stonewall penalty against Newcastle United. Dan Burn could be seen holding Gabriel's shirt as the Gunners defender was hauled to the ground, but referee Andy Madley did not award a penalty.
VAR looked at the decision and opted to stick with the on field call, much to the disappointment of the Arsenal boss who made his feelings clear in an angry post match rant.
"Stonewall," said Merson. "In my opinion it’s stonewall, he’s got a complete and utter grab of his shirt. His fist is clenched as well, and he is properly pulling that back.
