Was this the most complex VAR check EVER? Newcastle's winner against Arsenal was pored over for FOUR minutes, as officials inspected whether ball had gone out, if there was a foul, whether it was handball AND if Anthony Gordon was offside

Newcastle's 1-0 win over Arsenal involved one of the most complex VAR checks in Premier League history as officials took four minutes and six seconds to decide whether Anthony Gordon's goal should stand.

The Magpies claimed a brilliant win over the Gunners at St James' Park thanks to a 64th minute goal.

With barely anything to separate the sides in a feisty encounter, Gordon tapped in the ball just a yard away from the goal line after Joe Willock's cross.

The former Everton man was the right person in the right place as the ball fell at his feet after Joelinton competed for the ball in the air with Gabriel.
