Mikel Arteta details message to Arsenal squad after "huge anger" at VAR mistake

Mikel Arteta appears to be using the VAR blunder that allowed Brentford's equaliser to stand against Arsenal last Saturday as a means of motivation for his players.

The Gunners dropped two points at home to the Bees at the weekend after Ivan Toney's header cancelled out Leandro Trossard's first goal for the club, but it has since emerged that VAR official Lee Mason forgot to draw on the correct lines that would have shown Christian Norgaard, who assisted Brentford's goal, was actually offside when the ball was played to him.

Howard Webb, chief of the PGMOL, is thought to have reached out to Arsenal personally while the Gunners have since been offered an apology by the organisation for the mistake that could cost the Gunners dearly in the race for the title with Manchester City breathing down their necks.
