Ex-Premier League referee, Dermot Gallagher has said he understands why Arsenal did not get a penalty for an apparent foul on Gabriel Magalhaes during
The Brazilian defender went down in the box during the second half, with Dan Burn appearing to have held his shirt.The second came in stoppage time at the end of the match when the ball struck the arm of Jacob Murphy.Gallagher told Sky Sports: “It was difficult for the referee because, you didn’t see his angle there, but he couldn’t really see because of the players around him. When the VAR looks at it, you can see that, and that’s why I think Dan Burn has taken a massive risk.
“I think he’s won the battle there because when you look at it on a replay, it’s easier to justify a penalty. But I think how they want the VAR to operate now, I can understand why it wasn’t given.”
