VAR has been confirmed to be set up with an additional camera at the back of the net for the Arsenal match against Newcastle. This measure is being taken to prevent any further VAR errors.

 

The Premier League has revealed that Paul Tierney will be the referee for the upcoming clash between Arsenal and Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday night.

 

Following a heated match between the two teams at St James’ Park last November, fans can anticipate another intense battle this weekend.

 

The Gunners were defeated by the Magpies in their last encounter, but the winning goal sparked a heated debate.

 

This led to Arsenal issuing a statement in defense of Mikel Arteta, who criticized the decision as a ‘disgrace’ after the match. Anthony Gordon’s goal underwent a lengthy VAR check to determine if Joe Willock had kept the ball in play, if Joelinton had fouled Gabriel, and if Gordon was in an offside position before scoring.

 

The controversy didn’t end there, as the first half of the game saw several incidents that intensified the clash at St James’ Park. Newcastle believed that Kai Havertz should have received a red card for a reckless challenge on Sean Longstaff, while Bruno Guimaraes caught Jorginho with his forearm.
