🚨🎙️| Roy Keane:
“People will call me harsh, but I’m being honest, Burnley played against Arsenal and the officials. That’s what I saw. Arsenal fans can get angry all they want, but deep down they know some of those calls were embarrassing. Maybe this title race is being decided before the ball is even kicked.”
“Burnley were robbed, absolutely robbed. I’ve seen poor refereeing but this felt different. Every key moment somehow favored Arsenal. Funny that, isn’t it? After all these years without a title suddenly everything starts going their way. If that’s football now, we’re in trouble.”
“I don’t want excuses from Arsenal fans because if this happened to them they’d be screaming corruption for months. Burnley never got a fair chance. The referee had an absolute shocker and VAR? Don’t get me started. At some point you start asking questions, are Arsenal actually that good or are they just getting carried?”
VAR to the rescue for Arsenal's season:
🟥 Havertz narrowly escapes a Red Card for a shocking tackle on Burnley’s Ugochukwu.
❌ Saliba's kick on Barry went unpunished, with Everton missing out on a penalty—PGMOL later acknowledged this mistake.
🟥 Gabriel should have received a red for violent conduct after a head-to-head clash with Erling Haaland.
🟥 Once again, Gabriel should have been sent off for hitting Nick Woltemade with a fist to the face.
❌ West Ham's hopes for an equaliser dashed in the dying moments as Rice and Trossard both rugby tackled opponents.
What else did I overlook? 🤔🤔
If you ever needed proof the @premierleague and #PGMOL favour big clubs, here it is. Dorgu smashes it in “no clear evidence of handball”
Barnes scores, checks for 5 mins, ref doesn’t even go to the screen “clear handball”
Just a joke now! #VAR#twitterclarets@BurnleyOfficial
