Another game and another controversial VAR decision that has affected Arsenal.
The latest of which came in their 1-1 draw with Burnley on Saturday afternoon as Nicolas Pepe felt his should have won a penalty for the Gunners when the ball hit Erik Pieters on the arm.
This incident occurred inside the final 15 minutes at Turf Moor and was not spotted by referee Andre Marriner in real-time thus VAR reviewed the decision whilst the action continued.
But after a quick check, it was decided that Arsenal should not have been awarded a penalty - much to the surprise of Pepe and his teammates.
Meanwhile, former referee Peter Walton was also surprised that the Gunners were not afforded a chance to retake the lead from the spot.
"I am slightly surprised actually that it wasn't given as a penalty kick, but I can understand the rationale behind it," Walton said on BT Sport."
"It's hit Pieters' hand, his arm is out and in a natural position for his stance of play.
"However, we have seen those given this season and the law doesn't change until next season.
"I'm a bit surprised that wasn't given."
The handball law change Walton is referring to was announced by the International Football Association Board on Friday.
In an official statement on their website, IFAB confirmed that handballs will now only be given under certain circumstances.
These include when a player "deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball" or when a player "touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger."
The statement went on to add: "A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation."
