'It looked really soft' - Gary Neville responds to VAR controversy in Manchester United vs Arsenal

Gary Neville has given his verdict after Arsenal believed they were unfairly denied after Gabriel Martinelli's eleventh-minute goal was disallowed by VAR and referee Paul Tierney.

The goal was chalked off after it was deemed that Martin Odegaard had committed a foul on Christian Eriksen in the build-up to the goal meaning that the Brazilian's effort would be ruled out. The move came after a positive start from United, but an incisive breakaway from Martinelli looked to have put the Gunners 1-0 up.

The decision proved to be pivotal as United took a 1-0 lead into half-time following a brilliant debut goal from new £85 million signing Antony.
