•Should Arsenal be angry after Havertz VAR handball cost them win over Villa?
82% Informative
Arsenal's late "winner" from Kai Havertz was disallowed by the Video Assistant Referee.
Manchester United were awarded a spot kick in the 20th minute when Joshua Zirkzee was hauled down inside the area by Carlos Baleba .
The VAR was able to sync multiple camera angles in one view, looking for proof that the ball hit the arm.
If the ball hits an attacker's arm and goes into the goal, it's always a free kick to the defending team.
João Pedro thought he had put Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 up in the 53rd minute when he expertly turned inside the area and fired past André Onana .
However, Manchester United's players appealed for a foul in the buildup, and it was checked by the VAR .
Nottingham Forest scored what they thought was a fourth goal in the 64th minute through Nikola Milenkovic , who headed home from a free-kick routine.
Chris Wood also made an attempt to play the ball, but because he challenged his own player rather than an opponent this was out of the ordinary too.
Referee Anthony Taylor had to go to the monitor as it was a subjective offside, which applies whenever offending player has not touched the ball.
Sepp van den Berg attempted to help the ball into the centre of the penalty area in the 60th minute but it hit the arm of Ibrahima Konaté .
