Gary Neville has hinted at a potential VAR solution amid criticism coming from the Chelsea and Arsenal Premier League fixtures in game week 6 of the 2022/23 campaign.
Maxwell Cornet, Jarrod Bowen, Edouard Mendy, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli were the players at the centre of the VAR controversy from the last round of games last weekend. On Saturday, Cornet thought he had snatched a point for West Ham away to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. However, the VAR told referee Andrew Madley to review his on-field decision as the technology had spotted a possible foul from Bowen on Chelsea goalkeeper Mendy that led to the Senegalese potentially fumbling the ball.
After minutes of review, Madley took the VARs advice on board and ruled out the goal, to the fury of Declan Rice and manager David Moyes who both labelled the decision 'scandalous.' On Sunday, Arsenal became the next to feel aggrieved by the use of the technology. Odegaard dispossessed United star Christian Eriksen in the middle of the pitch, which resulted in the Gunners breaking away and opening the scoring through Martinelli.
