Arsenal fans fume at referee Mike Dean as Bukayo Saka injury worries mount

Here are your Arsenal morning headlines on Tuesday, October 19.

Fans fume at Mike Dean

Arsenal fans have been left fuming at referee Mike Dean following their 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.

There was a strong feeling that James McArthur should have been sent off for a kick on Bukayo Saka in the first half, only for Dean to show a yellow.

And in the build up to the visitor's second goal, plenty of fans also felt that Conor Gallagher had fouled Albert Sambi Lokonga, appearing to kick the player's foot rather than the ball.

Vieira's misery

Patrick Vieira was left frustrated after watching Alexandre Lacazette equalise for Arsenal against Crystal Palace.

Watching on from the touchline, Sky Sports captured the exact moment where Vieira watched his compatriot score the goal that denied his side a, in truth, well-deserved victory.

And, with the former Arsenal captain just seconds away from capturing a vital three points and sealing a happy return to his former club, his reaction was clearly full of disappointment.

Injury worries for Bukayo Saka

Arsenal fans fear the worst for Bukayo Saka after the young Gunners star was substituted at half-time against Crystal Palace.

Just minutes before the interval Saka was hauled down by Crystal Palace's James McArthur, who received a booking for the offence.

McArthur appeared to swipe the legs of Saka from behind on the edge of the Arsenal penalty area.

VAR did look at the McArthur challenge on Saka but stuck with the on-field decision.

Gunners fans were left fuming at the challenge and have now been left very worried about their player, who was replaced by Albert Sambi Lokonga.

Following the break, Saka appeared on the Arsenal bench with an ice pack strapped to the calf where he was hit by McArthur leaving fans concerned he could be ruled out through injury for some time.
