What VAR told Craig Pawson that led to Trossard goal in Arsenal vs Leicester being ruled out

Arsenal have been on the opposite end of a number of contentious refereeing decisions with one arriving in the 1-0 victory over Leicester in February. Leandro Trossard thought he had given the Gunners the lead with a fine finish from the edge of the box, but the goal was disallowed because of a foul in the build-up.

To most it wasn't exactly clear where the infringement was but it was later revealed to be involving Ben White and Danny Ward. When the Leicester goalkeeper attempted to punch the ball clear, one of his arms was kept down by White.

Because of the impact White's holding of the arm had on Ward's clearance, the goal was disallowed. Gabriel Martinelli went on to score the winner for the visitors, but the actual conversations that took place between the officials has now been revealed in never before heard audio relayed on Sky Sports.
