📸 Arsenal edge past Newcastle after a controversial finish 🫢 | OneFootball

This will get people talking...

This Sunday in the Premier League, the match between Newcastle and Arsenal was marked by intensity and some refereeing decisions that are sure to spark debate.

The Gunners managed to equalize thanks to Mikel Merino in the second half, after Nick Woltemade had opened the scoring at the half-hour mark.

But the focus was mainly on a controversial play at the very end of the match.

A few minutes before the final whistle, a dangerous cross from Newcastle hit Gabriel's arm in the box.

Video footage seems to show clear contact, leading many observers and fans to believe that a penalty should have been awarded to the Magpies.

However, after a VAR review, the referee decided not to call the foul, as the ball had touched the defender's foot just before making contact with the arm.

Ironically, a few minutes later, it was Gabriel who scored the winning goal for the Gunners in stoppage time (90+6').
