VAR Review: Was Arsenal's Anger Justified?

The video assistant referee causes controversy every week in the Premier League, Champions League, or FA Cup.

This season, we examine major incidents to understand the VAR process and the Laws of the Game.

Andy Davies, a former referee, has 12 seasons of experience and offers insight into VAR protocols in the Premier League.

Arsenal played Newcastle United.

The referee was Sam Barrott, and the VAR was Jarred Gillett, who reviewed an incident at 74 minutes.

A ball was played over Newcastle's defense, and Arsenal's Viktor Gyökeres chased it, but Newcastle's goalkeeper, Nick Pope, held him, stopping him from getting the ball.

The referee gave Pope a yellow card, deciding it wasn't a clear goal-scoring opportunity.

The VAR checked the referee's call and agreed that Pope didn't deny a clear goal-scoring chance because a Newcastle defender was near.

In a possible denial of a goal-scoring opportunity, certain criteria must be considered.

Editor's Picks are available.

Arsenal is back at the top of the Premier League, but the title race is uncertain.

The Premier League Power Rankings show why Manchester City is favored and Arsenal dropped.

A scientist was asked if the new Premier League ball is causing long-range goals.

The criteria for a denial of a goal-scoring opportunity include distance, direction, and likelihood of control.

Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, complained about the lack of a red card after the match.

Arteta said it was a clear red card and had watched it ten times.

Despite Arteta's complaints, the referee's decision was correct, and the VAR didn't intervene.

Nick Pope acted rashly, but the criteria for a red card weren't met due to the direction and distance from the goal.

The decision was relatively straightforward, and Arteta's comments were surprising.

Arteta can feel upset about a previous decision in a game against Manchester City, which Arsenal lost.
