It s ridiculous it should never have come back – Paul Scholes explains why Arsenal were unlucky during defeat to Manchester United
By Debkalpa Banerjee Modified 05 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Paul Scholes sympathised with the Gunners for the all-decisive VAR call. Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has said that Arsenal were unfortunate to have Gabriel Martinelli's goal disallowed during their 3-1 defeat away at Old Trafford on Sunday (September 4). The Gunners dropped their first points of the season as Erik ten Hag's team produced a cohesive, counter-attacking performance to register their fourth win on the trot. However, the contest was marred by a controversial VAR call in the first half. In the 11th minute, Martinelli put the ball into the opposition net after a brilliant run and finish. However, the on-field referee, Paul Tierney, overturned the goal with VAR intervention after a foul by Martin Odegaard on Christian Eriksen in the build-up.

It's his interpretation of the foul. He is ten yards away. He doesn't think it's a foul. Go to somebody else, and he has a different opinion. It's ridiculous; it should never have come back. I think they are a little unlucky there Arsenal." Gunners manager Mikel Arteta also expressed his frustration at the decision, telling Sky Sports: "It's a lack of consistency. What is soft? Last week, they (Aston Villa) got a goal when there's a foul on Aaron (Ramsdale), but it's soft, and it's not a foul. Then there's a penalty on Bukayo (Saka, by Tyrone Mings), but it's soft and not a penalty. Today, this is a foul. It's really difficult to accept." After Martinelli's goal was disallowed, United took the lead through new signing Antony in the 35th minute. Bukayo Saka equalised for the visitors at the hour-mark before Marcus Rashford sealed the deal for United with a nine-minute brace in the second half. While the north London outfit remain atop the Premier League standings with 15 points from six games, ahead of Manchester City (14), Manchester United climbed up to fifth place with 12 points from six outings.
