EXPERT VIEW: Arsenal's defeat to Man City is a tale of two penalty decisions after VAR controversially checked one challenge and not the other but the breakdown makes the officials' rulings clear

Arsenal's match against Man City will be seen as a tale of two penalty decisions. They were the major talking points and when you break it down you can absolutely see why the officials came to the decisions they did.

PENALTY ONE

Call it a collision between Martin Odegaard and Ederson in the box as the keeper rushes out to make a tackle.

Odegaard goes to ground, on-field referee Stuart Attwell decides not to award a penalty but because there is a possibility of one, it’s automatically checked by the VAR, Jarred Gillett.
