  • After a weekend of controversial matches, VAR and the Premier League are once again under pressure for questionable decisions regarding Arsenal and Manchester City.

VAR and the Premier League are once again under fire after a weekend of controversial matches involving Arsenal and Manchester City. In particular, Arsenal fans showed their discontent with the refereeing decisions following yesterday's match against Chelsea, which the Gunners won 2-0.

Fans took to social media to point out that Bukayo Saka's goal, which opened the scoring in the match against Chelsea, should not have been allowed, as there was an earlier infringement against Raheem Sterling by Declan Rice. Furthermore, again on social media, Arsenal fans pointed out that there were yellow card fouls in yesterday's match that were not sanctioned by the referee, such as a challenge on Martinelli by Malo Gusto and a challenge on Declan Rice by Enzo Fernandez.

The discontent of the Arsenal fans also exploded at the end of the match, when the pitch referee sent off Mikel Arteta. The Arsenal manager challenged the referee's decision not to book Malo Gusto for his tackle on Martinelli.

This discontent from Arsenal fans was also amplified by another controversial episode involving another Premier League team, Manchester City. In fact, in yesterday's match which Manchester City won 3-1 against Brighton, there was another controversial episode linked to VAR. Manchester City made it 2-1 with a header from Nathan Ake, but Brighton's players immediately contested the goal, calling for a foul on Pascal Gross after Phil Foden's cross.

The Brighton players asked for the incident to be reviewed by VAR, but VAR confirmed the award of the goal. Again, Brighton fans are very upset with the decision made by VAR and are contesting the Premier League.

Controversial incidents involving Arsenal and Manchester City have brought VAR under scrutiny once again. The Twitter page "ProReferees", which analyzes refereeing decisions, published a tweet in which we read that the refereeing decisions in the Brighton match and those taken in recent days for other Manchester City matches did not demonstrate impartiality towards Manchester City.

The Premier League and the PGMOL, which is the body that manages referees in England, will have to explain the decisions made over the weekend, as both teams, Arsenal and Manchester City, have raised objections to the decisions made by the referees.

What happens now

With VAR under fire, the Premier League and referees are expected to review their procedures to ensure greater clarity and fairness in decisions. The next matches will be crucial for both teams, as every point counts in the race for the title and European positions.
