ARSENAL fans were up in arms at claims of reports VAR made the incorrect decision to award John Stones’ goal in their 4-1 defeat to Manchester City.
US broadcaster NBC made the claim during their coverage of the match without explaining where the reports were from.
Arsenal fans claimed this angle of the incident showed John Stones was offside
But official replays show VAR made the correct call

Stones gave his side a 2-0 lead with a brilliant header on the stroke of half-time.
The goal was initially ruled out for offside but following a lengthy VAR check the decision was overturned due to Ben White’s foot playing Stones onside.
However some fans are convinced the wrong call was made – which was fuelled by the claim on NBC.
Another angle of the incident also emerged which appeared to show Stones was offside.
One fan reacted by saying: “This looks proper dodgy to me.”
Another added: “What a joke.”
A third said: “Why does this keep happening?”
And another commented: “They absolutely got it wrong. God knows how, but they did. Lucky for them it was a comfortable win for City.”

Despite fan’s theories of wrongdoing, the PGMOL have confirmed the correct decision was made.
In addition, NBC Sports are understood to have later clarified the alternative angle arguing otherwise was wrong.
Some fans are also unhappy Jack Grealish was only booked for an altercation with Thomas Partey where he grabbed the Arsenal star by his shirt collar.
Manchester United star Casemiro was sent off for a similar incident against Crystal Palace earlier this season.
Arsenal defender White and City’s Phil Foden also clashed at the final whistle with the latter pushing his England team-mate.
