Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has come out to call for consistency with VAR usage in the EPL this season. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the call that ruled out Martinelli’s goal was clearly a soft one, and the lack of consistency with VAR decisions lately has made the rules very difficult to understand.
Arteta added that he is really disappointed to lose to MUFC, but he is pleased with how his boys created chances.
His words, “Lack of consistency. One is soft and last week they made a foul on Aaron [Ramsdale] but it is soft, it is not a foul. There is a foul on Bukayo [Saka], it is soft but not a penalty. Today it is a foul. The threshold in the first actions, you could see there is no yellow card because they want to keep a threshold in a big game. Really difficult to understand.”
“I am really disappointed to lose the game especially with the way it went over the 95 minutes. We had some big periods where we were totally dominant and in total control. We created chance after chance but did not close the game. In any moment, when they have open spaces, they are going to hurt you.”
