#2 VAR in the spotlight yet again
Kevin Friend made plenty of decisions in the game that angered both sets of supporters, but perhaps, the most crucial decision came not from the on-field referee, but VAR.
When Bukayo Saka played Aubameyang through on goal and the Gabon international went clean through to dink the ball past David De Gea, Arsenal's joy was stifled by a potential offside call as the linesman's flag was raised.
Ashley Young, who was rushing back towards Aubameyang, saw the flag and raised his arms as he continued to make an attempt to block the shot.
Upon reviewing the incident, VAR allowed the goal with little consideration because Lindelof was playing Aubameyang onside by more than a couple of yards and the video assistant was correcting what appeared to be a howler of a decision by the linesman. This will be a VAR decision that few will argue with, and those who do will be accused of blindness.
