Video: Martinelli has crucial goal scrubbed off by extended VAR decision

VAR took their time to decide that Gabriel Martinelli came back from an offside decision after he appeared to have equalised for Arsenal before the break.

The Gunners remain 1-0 down after the decision, thanks to Lee Trossard’s clinical strike 15 minutes before half-time, and there was a huge roar in the stadium as we celebrated our equaliser, only to have to wait for VAR to finally decide that it wouldn’t be allowed.

The manager will now have to pick his side up after the late disappointment, but hopefully the fire that his side felt when scoring that disallowed goal will see them come out in the second-half and get us right back in the game.
