So on that basis there is no evidence to say the ball is out of play. That&#8217;s how it is. It&#8217;s only penalised if the ball is out of play.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Despite that, former Arsenal forward, Wright, did not agree and claimed that the ball looked like it had gone out of play.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/05\/11\/77421689-0-image-a-21_1699184051527.jpg\" height=\"421\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Joe Willock had appeared to keep the ball in play, with Gallagher arguing that the ball was overhanging the line<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Sorry to interrupt, Dermot,&#8217; Wright said. &#8216;But the angles we&#8217;re seeing, the ball looks out of play. That&#8217;s surely what we should be judging it on.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s not like we can&#8217;t say conclusively. What we can see from that from me, the naked eye, because we haven&#8217;t got any other way to prove that the circumference of the ball is breaking the line, then surely we should give that as the ball out of play?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Replays of the goal were shown live during the match, with Arsenal&#8217;s players gathering around Attwell to protest that the goal should be disallowed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Gallagher stood firm on his opinion, stating: &#8216;Wrighty I get that and fully understand what you&#8217;re saying, but the problem is if you see many corners taken, when you look at it down the line, you say &#8220;that ball is out of the quadrant.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But when you actually go to it and look at it, part of it overhangs the line. The law says the whole of the ball has to be over the whole of the line. The VAR wasn&#8217;t convinced because of the angle they&#8217;ve got.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;As you quite rightly said, they haven&#8217;t got the angle down the line to look at it. So therefore they can&#8217;t make that decision. The on-field decision is ball in play.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Both Arsenal and Newcastle could have also been sent down to 10-men, after Kai Havertz committed a dangerous foul on Sean Longstaff in the first half.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bruno Guimaraes also came close to a red card after he elbowed Jorginho, but Attwell chose not to send either player off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/05\/11\/77422009-0-image-a-22_1699184111586.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Willock subsequently crossed the ball into the box, with Anthony Gordon (middle) tapping in<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/05\/11\/77422011-0-image-a-23_1699184116062.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mikel Arteta blasted the officials following the match claiming he &#8216;felt sick&#8217; at some of the decisions<\/p>\n<p>After the match, Arteta slammed the officials, claiming that some of their decisions had made him feel &#8216;sick&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s so difficult to compete at this level.
