Should Newcastle's winner against Arsenal have been disallowed? YOUR COMMENTS after the furious Gunners and Mikel Arteta blasted refereeing standards in the wake of their 1-0 defeat at St James' Park

VAR controversy was once again front and centre of the Premier League this weekend, as Arsenal and Mikel Arteta furiously complained about refereeing standards in the wake of Newcastle's 1-0 triumph at St James' Park.

Anthony Gordon's second-half winner, which prompted three separate lengthy VAR checks, sparked a scathing reaction from the Arsenal manager after the match, as he branded the decision a 'disgrace' and admitted he felt 'sick' to be part of this.

Arsenal supported their manager by releasing a statement on Sunday condemning the decision, while esteemed pundits Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville urged the club and Arteta were wrong to 'undermine the whole refereeing community'.
