The goal was preventable.
But Gabriel would also have prevented it if he hadn't been fouled.
Yeah, coz Arsenal was all over that Newcastle defence lmao
Wilson chance as well which he should have buried, Gordon at the back post when he gave it a heavy touch. Better chances than your lot managed even after getting 10 corners. Your closest was a shot from outside the box straight at Pope? I could be misremembering.
Gabriel goes down easily to play for the foul all the time. He did it repeatedly in just this match. There is enough of an element of doubt to make this not a clear and obvious error from the referee.
When I saw it live I felt that the goal shouldn't stand, but everything I saw from the Gabriel challenge part looked a little soft. I've seen Joelinton clatter into people, that wasn't it. Gabriel was already going down for the ball and it's not as if Joelinton sent him flying.
I wouldn't have complained if they hadn't given it from that incident and likewise I didn't complain when they gave it.
The one that I don't get is the hand ball, but I just don't get the hand ball rules now anyway. They've made that one even more opaqe.
