A supposed leak of VAR audio from Newcastle's tense clash against Arsenal has revealed why Bruno Guimaraes was not sent off despite seemingly elbowing Jorginho in the head.
The game at St James' Park was extremely controversial, with Anthony Gordon's winner for the hosts only given after three lengthy VAR checks. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta lost his rag post match, insisting the performance of the technology was 'embarrassing' and 'a disgrace' that left him 'sick', claiming the goal shouldn't have been awarded.
There were also several other contentious decisions, including a poor Kai Havertz challenge on Sean Longstaff and the aforementioned Guimaraes-Jorginho clash, but neither were punished, although PGMOL chief Howard Webb admitted this week that both players should have received a red card.
