Gabriel Martinelli disallowed VAR goal vs Brighton leads former ref to call for possible change

Former Premier League referee Mark Halsey has suggested that a time limit should be introduced following Gabriel Martinelli's disallowed 'goal' for Arsenal against Brighton this weekend.

Mikel Arteta's side were beaten 2-1 by the Seagulls at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon with Martinelli denied a first-half equaliser, as his header was eventually ruled out following an almost four-minute wait by VAR.

The Gunners slumped to their 10th domestic defeat of the season, as goals from Leandro Trossard and Enock Mwepu condemned the side in a relatively lacklustre showing throughout.
