Officials have conceded 'human error' caused an 'awful' mistake which could have big ramifications. 👇 9WWOS PL
"I just looked back and it is offside, yes," manager Mikel Arteta told Sky Sports afterwards. "Have they explained why it wasn't allowed? No. It is frustrating but they will probably give an explanation later in the week. Today we haven't got one."
The Video Assistant Referee Lee Mason checked Ethan Pinnock's challenge on Gabriel during the initial free-kick but appeared to not use the VAR guidelines to check a second incident in the goal's build up when Christian Norgaard seemed to be offside."You have to apply certain principles in defending and you do that by sticking to the rules. Suddenly you change the rules and then you have to change your principles," Arteta continued.
Professional Game Match Officials Limited , the body responsible for Premier League referees, told CNN that its Chief Refereeing Officer Howard Webb had contacted Arsenal "to acknowledge and explain the significant errors in the VAR process."It added that the error was "being thoroughly reviewed by PGMOL."
Arsenal's draw against Brentford marked the second consecutive week in which it dropped points following a shock loss against Everton, and its lead over Manchester City is now just three points, instead of five had it secured victory over Brentford.
