Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes took a swipe at referee Andrew Madley on social media after being denied a penalty in the 0-0 draw with Newcastle. The Brazilian appeared to aim a not-so-subtle dig at the official and VAR on Twitter in the early hours of Wednesday morning, posting a video of match footage showing Dan Burn pulling him down in the Newcastle penalty area.
The incident was reviewed by VAR who deemed no foul had taken place during the Arsenal free-kick, leaving Gunners boss Mikel Arteta fuming on the touchline. Burn had a handful of Gabriel's shirt as he hit the turf, with some believing the Newcastle man was lucky to avoid punishment.
Arteta was also left incensed after Arsenal were denied another penalty in the final moments of added time. Granit Xhaka's cross struck the arm of Jacob Murphy but VAR deemed the winger's arm was in a natural position
