Wayne Rooney says VAR ‘did a really good job’ in making a crucial call in Arsenal’s win at West Ham

Former Premier League assistant referee Darren Cane on Match of the Day: “I don’t think anybody would want to trade places with Darren England. Nobody would want to sit in that chair. He stepped up to the plate, he made the right decision and it’s the biggest VAR call in Premier League history.”

the former Newcastle Match of the Day Goalkeeper Shock: “The thing that gets me is that we’ve seen it on numerous occasions Arsenal This season, goalkeepers and defenders are getting blocked and the goal stands. Everyone is disappointed with the consistency of the referee’s decisions. Why was some goal allowed to stand and it was denied? There are many at the bottom and very top of the league.

“The other thing is Gabriel holds, Odegaard holds, Trossard holds before Raya is fouled. When did the referee decide he wanted to pick the foul and not the previous foul?”

the former Liverpool Match of the Day Midfielder Danny Murphy: Controversy and discontent all around West Ham This is because it is not being targeted Arsenal. They cannot be held accountable for past decisions.

“The VAR officials have to say what they see and it’s a clear foul. Just because it is Arsenal We should not distort it.”

the former West Ham Goalkeeper Rob Green on BBC Radio 5 Live: “It’s a foul. You’re looking at two players to foul the goalkeeper. There’s been so many of those this season, it’s been such a hot topic, there’s such inconsistency with it so it’s huge to come down to it.

“It just feels like VAR, for West Hamfor Arsenal Especially with their set-pieces, the talk of the season.

“Individually – fouls. There were five or six fouls at the same time but that’s where the ball landed. Then you think of consistency – none.”
