Arteta tired of VAR
This was not a classic by any stretch of the imagination. While Arsenal will be delighted with Gabriel Martinelli's second-half strike, Mikel Arteta probably would have a moment of quiet relief himself about the fact that he wouldn't have to answer questions against VAR yet again.
After an official apology denied Leandro Trossard a winning goal against Brentford, the Belgian was once again the victim as officials in Stockley Park intervened to rule out his superb finish for a foul by Ben White on Danny Ward in the build-up. On second viewing the decision was marginal, but it probably would have been a pill that Arsenal were just about able to swallow.
