‘How the hell is that disallowed?’ – Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta fumes at dodgy Alexandre Lacazette decision on weekend of controversy
Oct 26, 2020
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was left fuming and bemused as to why Alexandre Lacazette’s first-half goal was ruled out the Gunners’ defeat at home to Leicester.
Leicester claimed their first win at the home of the north Londoners since 1973 as Jamie Vardy came of the bench to fire the Foxes to a 1-0 victory on Sunday .
The hosts were left to rue an early decision after just four minutes, with officials deciding to disallow Lacazette’s early header from a corner due to teammate Granit Xhaka’s interference with goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
Xhaka was in an offside position when Lacazette glanced his header towards goal, standing right in front of the Foxes keeper, and his position meant the goal was chalked off after the linesman flag was raised.
It wasn’t the only moment of referee controversy this weekend, either, with Harry Maguire staying on the pitch for Manchester United despite getting Chelsea’s Cesar Azpilicueta in a choke hold and Carlo Ancelotti saying Everton defender Lucas Digne’s red card against Southampton was ‘a joke’ .
Meanwhile, while Jurgen Klopp was left baffled after VAR didn’t even check Fabinho’s tackle that gave Sheffield United a penalty in their clash against Liverpool, which forced the Reds to come from behind to win.
And Arteta was also fuming after the match.
