Howard Webb insists VAR was RIGHT to allow Anthony Gordon's controversial winner for Newcastle against Arsenal... but says both Kai Havertz and Bruno Guimaraes should have been sent off

The PGMOL believes there was no conclusive evidence to rule out Anthony Gordon's controversial winner for Newcastle against Arsenal earlier this month.

Mikel Arteta was left fuming after the final whistle at St. James' Park on November 4 as Gordon's goal was allowed to stand, after three separate VAR checks.

But speaking on the PGMOL's Match Officials Mic'd Up show with Michael Owen, refs boss Howard Webb believes the video referee made the right call.

'This was a big moment, an unusual situation with three aspects for the VAR to check whether the on-field decision of goal should be overturned,' he said.
