Ian Wright disagrees with Dermot Gallagher's explanation of controversial decision to allow Anthony Gordon's goal during Newcastle's 1-0 win against Arsenal claiming 'the ball looks out of play'

Ian Wright has disagreed with Dermot Gallagher's explanation of the controversial decision to allow Antony Gordon's goal to stand during Newcastle's 1-0 win against Arsenal on Saturday, claiming that the ball 'looked out of play'.

The incident occurred in the build up to the 64th-minute winner, with VAR officials confirming that Joe Willock had managed to prevent the ball from going out for a goal kick, despite it seeming to cross the byline.

The goal went through three seperate VAR checks but the officials deemed there was no infringement, a judgement that was slammed by Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta as 'disgraceful' after the final whistle.
