Garnacho offside? Manchester United fans blame VAR for loss to Arsenal
Arsenal recorded a 3-1 victory against Manchester United in a Premier League fixture played on Sunday, September 3, 2023.
The game was tied at 1-1 going into the final stages until Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho put the ball past Aaron Ramsdale.
The goal was eventually disallowed by Anthony Taylor after consultation with the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).
Manchester United fans argue if Garnacho was offside against Arsenal
Before his goal was disallowed for offside against Arsenal today, Garnacho felt he had won it for Manchester United.
The goal was disallowed for offside by VAR as the teenage winger slid the ball past Ramsdale.
Ultimately, two late goals from Declan Rice and then Gabriel Jesus gave Arsenal a 3-1 victory.
One of the closest calls we've seen this season but it was accurate, as the lines indicated.
Garnacho might have been onside if Gabriel hadn't taken a particular stance in defense.
Manchester United fans react to Garnacho's offside
The main topic of discussion was the offside ruling that negated Alejandro Garnacho's late winner.
Erik ten Hag and every Manchester United fan in attendance will be furious because it was an error of judgment based on social media reactions.
This would have been a noteworthy road win If the goal by Garnacho was counted as he converted the ball from Casemiro passed neatly.
