Webb: VAR came to correct decision over Gordon goal

VAR CONTROVERSY: On-field referee Stuart Attwell awarded the goal but it took a four-minute, triple VAR check to determine whether the ball had gone out of play before Joe Willock's cross, whether Joelinton had fouled Arsenal defender Gabriel, and whether Gordon had been offside.

Referees' chief Howard Webb believes the VAR came to the correct decision to allow Anthony Gordon's controversial goal for Newcastle which enraged Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.

The Spaniard labelled the decision a "disgrace" following his side's 1-0 defeat last Saturday.
