Gary Lineker and Jamie Carragher disagree over "tedious" decision in Man Utd vs Arsenal

Gary Lineker and Jamie Carragher have found themselves in disagreement after Arsenal had a goal against Manchester United controversially ruled out.

Gabriel Martinelli thought he'd opened the scoring in the 11th minute at Old Trafford, but the Arsenal forward's celebrations were short-lived after United's players surrounded referee Paul Tierney and pleaded for a foul. After a lengthy VAR check, the Red Devils - who ran out 3-1 winners - got their wish, as Martin Odegaard was deemed to have brought down Christian Eriksen in the build-up.

Arsenal midfielder Odegaard sent Eriksen to the floor without winning the ball to kickstart the counter attack, which Martinelli delightfully finished past David de Gea. Tierney needed to watch multiple replays of the incident after VAR official Lee Mason instructed him to review his initial decision on the pitch-side monitor.
