Roy Keane and Ian Wright agree on Arsenal vs Man Utd VAR verdict after disallowed goal

Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes VAR made the correct call by intervening and disallowing Gabriel Martinelli's opening goal against Manchester United.

The Gunners suffered defeat for the first time this season following their 3-1 loss at Old Trafford on Sunday, with VAR playing a key role in the match. Mikel Arteta questioned the consistency of VAR during his post-match press conference, with many deeming the decision to rule out Martinelli's goal as 'soft'.

Bukayo Saka was able to find a well-deserved equaliser in the second half, but two quickfire goals from Marcus Rashford on the counter-attack shellshocked the Gunners as they went on to taste defeat. Club captain Martin Odegaard blasted the decision to rule out Martinelli's goal after the game claiming he 'hardly touched' Eriksen, but wright feels like the correct decision was made.
