FIFA has just announced VERY SAD NEWS for the Officials and Referees of the match between Newcastle United and Arsenal and this have cost them thier Job
In his post-match press conference, Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, did not mince words as he expressed his strong discontent over the decisive goal in the game. Arteta firmly believed that the goal should have been disallowed and went as far as calling its approval a disgrace, expressing his utter disappointment.
The match between Newcastle and Arsenal involved one of the most intricate VAR checks in Premier League history.
Officials engaged in a prolonged four-minute and six-second deliberation to determine whether Anthony Gordon’s goal should be counted.
Newcastle managed to secure an important victory against Arsenal at St. James’ Park, with Gordon scoring a close-range goal following Joe Willock’s assist. The game was fiercely contested, and Gordon’s goal ultimately proved to be the decider.
Arteta finds himself facing some strategic decisions after his team’s recent setbacks, including the end of their longest unbeaten streak in 16 years. The absence of key players like Odegaard and Jesus played a significant role in the outcome. While Kai Havertz’s challenge ignited Arsenal’s performance, they struggled to capitalize on their dominance, recording only one shot on target during the match.
On a day when Manchester City scored six goals, Arteta will have to reconsider his team’s attacking approach.
Gary Neville strongly criticized Kai Havertz for his “stupid” and “dangerous” tackle on Sean Longstaff during the Arsenal-Newcastle game. Despite the uproar from Newcastle players and commentary teams, Havertz received only a yellow card, a decision that left many bewildered.
Eddie Howe, Newcastle’s manager, masterminded another significant victory for his team. The home side successfully withstood Arsenal’s second-half pressure, bringing an end to Arsenal’s unbeaten start in the campaign. While Gordon’s goal might have been disputed under different circumstances, Newcastle fans celebrated the win, propelling their team to sixth place in the Premier League standings, just four points behind Arsenal.
