'VAR is always against us!': Arsenal fans are left seething by video officials with viewers claiming John Stones' first half goal 'deserves to be overturned' and Ruben Dias' 'kick out' on Ben White was 'completely overlooked'

Arsenal fans were left bemoaning their fortunes at the hands of VAR in Wednesday's clash with Manchester City, in which they went 3-0 down before the hour mark on the way to a 4-1 defeat.

Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring with a brilliantly taken strike from the edge of the box in the seventh minute of the game, following a deft assist from Erling Haaland.

A lengthy VAR check eventually awarded John Stones his side's second of the night, having initially been flagged offside before replays in fact showed him to be behind the last man.
