VAR were unable to properly check for a possible offside in the build-up to Gabriel Martinelli's opening goal against Liverpool on Sunday. The Brazilian gave the Gunners the lead after just 60 seconds, although there was some controversy surrounding the goal, with Bukayo Saka appearing to be in a possible offside position in the lead-up.
The possible offside was checked by VAR, however, a conclusive verdict could not be reached due to Saka not being visible in any of the five cameras that are utilised by those at Stockley Park. According to Liverpool Echo, the offside lines could not be virtually drawn to ascertain whether the Arsenal forward had mistimed his run and referee Michael Oliver was therefore left with no other choice than to stick with the on-field decision.
