Premier League Panel Says Arsenal Were Wrongly Denied Penalty Against Aston Villa
The Premier League’s Key Match Incidents Panel has ruled that Arsenal should have been awarded a penalty during their 1-0 win over Aston Villa. The panel said Ian Maatsen made clear contact with Bruno Guimaraes’ standing leg without touching the ball as the Arsenal player attempted a shot in stoppage time. It voted unanimously that referee Jarred Gillett made an on-field error and that VAR should have intervened. The panel also said Maatsen’s challenge was reckless and warranted a second yellow card, which would have sent the Aston Villa defender off. Arsenal remain second in the Premier League after victories over Coventry City, Aston Villa and Chelsea.
