Why VAR ruled against Arsenal's penalty vs Man United

Arsenal defeated Manchester united in their Premier League clash on Sunday at the Emirates stadium. 

Mikel Arteta side needed two late goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus to clinch the victory. 

Marcus Rashford gave Manchester United the lead in the 27 minutes but Martin Odegaard equalised just under one minute. 

There were several controversial moment in the game, which one happens to be Arsenal’s penalty call. 

Wan-Bissaka's extended leg did not knock Havertz to the ground, hence the ruling was reversed. 

Gary Neville was taken aback by the choice because camera angles revealed that there was contact between the players, albeit it didn't seem to be enough to knock Havertz to the ground.

"I don’t think it will get overturned. I am surprised he has been asked for a review. It is Kai Havertz’s leg that makes contact with (Aaron) Wan Bissaka. From our angle initially it looked like a penalty, but the more you scrutinise it the less it looks like a penalty," Neville said on commentary.
