Arsenal's failed title charge would have nothing to do with referees if their attack could put teams to bed

There was no sense of shock among the visiting Arsenal supporters when referee Darren England pointed to the penalty spot on 46 minutes.

Jack Harrison’s tangle with Myles Lewis-Skelly was far too soft to give a penalty. In the end, it earned Everton a point to move them closer to safety, while torpedoing Arsenal’s slim title hopes.

It’s a recurring theme this season, the Gunners being on the end of a questionable call. So to their fans, it’s not something new. Maybe expected, even.

Other occasions include Lewis-Skelly’s red card in their 1-0 win against Wolves in January, which was later rescinded by the FA upon an appeal.
