PGMOL Releases New Camera Angle and Provides Explanation for Controversial Newcastle Goal

In a Saturday night clash between Newcastle and Arsenal, a goal scored by Anthony Gordon sparked controversy and heated debate. The sequence of events leading to this goal was closely scrutinized, creating a stir in the football world.

It all began when Jacob Murphy’s shot nearly went out for a goal-kick but was saved from doing so by Joe Willock down near the corner flag. Willock then delivered a powerful cross back into the box, eluding Arsenal’s goalkeeper David Raya with an acrobatic miss.

Joelinton then outmuscled Gabriel, enabling Gordon to capitalize on the opportunity and find the back of the net. The on-field referee, Stuart Attwell, awarded the goal, but VAR Andy Madley initiated a lengthy review to assess the various aspects of the goal.

Firstly, Madley checked if the ball had crossed the line when Murphy’s initial cross sailed dangerously across the goal. While some camera angles suggested a gap between the ball and the line, Stockley Park, the VAR officials’ hub, argued that there wasn’t a clear angle to confirm the ball had gone out.

Next, the VAR looked for a potential foul by Joelinton on Gabriel, who appeared to have been pushed in the back. After multiple reviews, Madley communicated to Attwell that no foul had occurred.

The final point of contention was Gordon’s alleged offside position, although it seemed he was in line with Raya and the goal line. However, Stockley Park struggled to find a clear camera angle to determine when Joelinton had last touched the ball.

During the match commentary, pundit Gary Neville supported Madley’s decisions and explanations, stating that there were no obvious reasons to disallow the goal.

While Neville found relief in the goal standing, Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, was far from pleased. He vehemently criticized the decision, describing it as “embarrassing” and expressing his frustration with the outcome, reflecting the high stakes and emotions in Premier League football. Arteta’s reaction emphasized the significance of accurate officiating and its impact on the game.
