Why Gabriel wasn't given a penalty vs Everton despite VAR taking a second look

Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes felt his side should have been awarded a penalty after he was tripped by Everton striker Neal Maupay on Saturday, but it has since been explained why he wasn't.

The Gunners endured an afternoon to forget in Merseyside as Mikel Arteta's men fell to just their second league defeat of the season. A James Tarkowski header from a Dwight McNeil corner on the hour mark was enough to separate the two sides and place a dent in Arsenal's title hopes.

In truth, the Toffees were well worth their win, as Sean Dyche managed to get his players to nullify Arsenal's attacking threat with an impressive pressing system. The former Burnley boss deserves plenty of praise for managing to instil such a system in what was only his first game in the Goodison Park hot-seat.
