Premier League's 6 biggest VAR howlers against Arsenal after forgetting to draw lines

Arsenal dropped points for the second week running - but it wasn't only their underperforming players who fans were left fuming at.

In the aftermath of Saturday's disappointing 1-1 draw, which saw the Gunners miss the chance to go eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table, it's emerged that VAR should've ruled out Ivan Toney's late equaliser. Shortly after Leandro Trossard had broken the deadlock in North London, Toney popped up with a header and earned the Bees a controversial point.

Hours after the final whistle, supporters learned that Lee Mason - now a dedicated VAR official for the Premier League - had somehow forgotten to draw the offside lines which would've resulted in the goal being disallowed. Mikel Arteta had pointed out post-match that the decision didn't add up, and it's not the first time Arsenal's manager has been left feeling aggrieved.
