Micky van de Ven took the roof off the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a goal that was disallowed by a VAR offside check. An alternative angle suggested that the decision might have been incorrect, as an Arsenal defender appeared to be playing the Dutchman onside.
The lengthy VAR check determined that Van de Ven’s back was slightly ahead of the opposing player’s position. While Tottenham fans were disappointed by the decision, rival supporters found it amusing.
Declan Rice’s in-swinging delivery was flicked into the net by Kai Havertz. This was another blow for the North London team, who did not perform like a side that deserved to be three goals down.
