The technology came under scrutiny once again on Saturday, with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta left fuming in his side\u2019s 1-0 defeat to Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p>The Gunners lost their unbeaten record in the Premier League at St James\u2019 Park over the weekend, with Anthony Gordon scoring the all-important goal in an impressive 1-0 win for the Magpies. However, the ex-Everton star\u2019s goal has been overshadowed by controversy.<\/p>\n<p>In the build-up to the goal, the ball appeared to have trickled out of play before Joe Willock retrieved possession out wide and whipped a deep cross to the back post. Joelinton was then on hand to knock the ball down into the path of Gordon, though there has been suspicions that the Brazilian fouled Gabriel when jostling to get on the end of the cross.<\/p>\n<p>Gordon then smashed the ball past David Raya, with VAR opting not to rule that the England Under-21 international was offside due to the limited angles on the incident. Regardless, referee Stuart Atwell gave the goal and received the support of his officials at Stockley Park.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Arsenal boss Arteta left red-faced by VAR as tempers boil over in Newcastle loss[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5050066.jpg?r=1699170595638\"><\/p>\n<p>Despite such controversy, the majority of Express Sport readers believe that the Premier League should persist with VAR.
