How the most contentious goal of the season unfolded: Every word VAR officials said as they made triple check on Anthony Gordon's controversial winner for Newcastle against Arsenal

It is highly likely to be the most contentious goal of the entire Premier League season.

Anthony Gordon's winner for Newcastle United against Arsenal on November 4 was awarded only after a rare triple check by the Video Assistant Referees.

VAR Andy Madley and assistant VAR Stuart Burt checked whether Joe Willock managed to keep the ball in play in the lead-up to the goal, whether Joelinton fouled Gabriel while knocking the ball back across, and whether Gordon was offside as he scored.

The goal was allowed to stand and Newcastle went on to take all three points at St James' Park - but the debate about what unfolded still hasn't died down.
