Martinelli thought he had given Arsenal the lead against Manchester United in their September fixture at Old Trafford, but referee Mike Dean was advised by VAR to overrule the goal for a foul by Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard on Manchester United’s Christian Eriksen in the build-up to the goal.
The disallowed goal scored by Gabriel Martinelli for Arsenal in their eventual 3-1 loss to Manchester United has been tagged as one of six erroneous video assistant referee interventions in the opening half of the 2022/23 English Premier League season.
Now that decision has come up in an investigation by the Key Match Incident Panel into VAR activities in the first part of the season and has been highlighted as one of six errors made by the VAR team in the Premier League.
