Gary Neville claims officials made the 'CORRECT' decision to award Newcastle's winner against Arsenal, after Mikel Arteta slammed the decision as 'embarrassing' in furious post-match interview

Gary Neville has claimed that officials made the 'correct' decision to award Newcastle's controversial winner against Arsenal.

In the Magpies' league clash with the Gunners, Anthony Gordon struck in the 64th minute to secure all three points for the hosts - however there was much drama that followed.

The goal went through three separate VAR checks — to confirm Joe Willock kept the ball in play before crossing, a potential foul on Gabriel by Joelinton and whether goalscorer Gordon was offside.

After a lengthy analysis, VAR officials ruled that the goal would stand, leaving Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta fuming in his post-match interviews.
