Arsenal's Struggles: Penalties, Injuries, and Champions League Woes
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed frustration over two controversial VAR decisions in their 1-0 Champions League loss to Inter Milan. Arsenal were denied a penalty when Inter's goalkeeper Yann Sommer collided with Mikel Merino, while Merino was later penalized for a handball. The VAR upheld both decisions, leading to criticism of inconsistent officiating standards across competitions. Additionally, Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings was involved in a bizarre handball incident against Club Brugge, resulting in a penalty but no red card, highlighting further VAR controversies.
