Controversial VAR Call Denies Arsenal's Leandro Trossard Wondergoal Against Leicester City
Arsenal's bid for their first Premier League title in 19 years suffered a setback on Saturday as their match against Leicester City was overshadowed by yet another controversial VAR decision. Leandro Trossard, who was handed his first league start for the Gunners since his £21million move from Brighton in January, appeared to have scored a stunning goal in the 26th minute. However, after a VAR review, the goal was disallowed due to Ben White's foul on goalkeeper Danny Ward during the initial corner, denying Trossard his moment of glory.
The decision has reignited criticism of the use of VAR, with Arsenal having been on the receiving end of several harsh calls this season, including Ivan Toney's equalizer for Brentford earlier this month. Despite the disappointment, Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta remained pragmatic, expressing his appreciation for the referees' apologies and explanations, while also lamenting the loss of crucial points.
The Gunners will have to regroup quickly, as they face another tough challenge against Burnley next week. With only 14 games left in the season, Arsenal will need to put this setback behind them and focus on their upcoming fixtures if they hope to stay in the title race.
