Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya has claimed Newcastle’s goal should not have stood in his side’s 1-0 defeat at St James’ Park.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mikel Arteta’s side suffered their first Premier League defeat of the season as Anthony Gordon’s controversial goal proved to be the difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The match was full of VAR-checks and controversies in what was tipped to be a hotly-contested clash, and boss Arteta raged after the match at the ’embarrassing’ display from officials.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the match, Raya felt Newcastle’s goal should not have stood, claiming Joelinton pushed Gabriel seconds before Gordon’s close-range finish and the ball had gone out of play earlier in the move.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘What I could see was the ball went out of play, and then after going to the dressing room, looking back at the goal, it’s a big foul on Gabi. He’s pushing him with two hands on his back when he’s about to clear the ball,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘On the other hand, it could have been an offside position, that’s harder to see. But the ball is out of play and the foul is a massive decision that’s just going to cost us some points. We’re really frustrated.<\/p>\n
‘The way we played, the way we competed, it was brilliant from everybody. We did what the gaffer asked us to do; win duels and get the ball up the pitch and everything, but decisions have taken a goal.’<\/p>\n
With barely anything to separate the sides in a feisty encounter, Gordon tapped in the ball just a yard away from the goal line after Joe Willock’s cross.<\/p>\n
The former Everton man was the right person in the right place as the ball fell at his feet after Joelinton competed for the ball in the air with Gabriel.<\/p>\n
However, match officials took nearly four minutes to decide whether the goal should stand with three separate incidents to investigate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Spanish goalkeeper claims Gabriel was pushed to the ground by Newcastle’s Joelinton\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Raya also believes the ball had gone out of play before Joe Willock’s cros into the box\u00a0<\/p>\n
VAR first took a look at whether the ball went out of play as Willock attempted to rescue the ball.<\/p>\n
It was then being checked whether Joelinton committed a foul on Gabriel as it appeared the Brazilian pushed his fellow countryman in the back.<\/p>\n
After it was deemed that was not a foul, VAR tried to look at whether there was an offside as Gordon looked ahead of Joelinton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, it was confirmed that there was no conclusive angle that Joelinton made contact with the ball which means they didn’t know whether Gordon was offside.<\/p>\n
