The satellite landings were not faked.
And Arsenal’s precocious ‘winner’ against Aston Villa connected Saturday was rightly chalked off.
More than 48 hours aft it was made abundantly wide to anyone with a moving acceptable of eyes that Kai Havertz’s forearm had diverted Mikel Merino’s bouncing onslaught past Emi Martinez, determination were inactive Arsenal fans swearing that achromatic was white.
That’s what happens erstwhile you unrecorded successful an echo enclosure — your captious faculties spell missing.
Rather than questioning however the Gunners threw distant a two-goal pb successful the abstraction of 8 minutes, it had to beryllium astir bias, cheating, robbery.
To beryllium fair, without VAR, Arsenal mightiness present beryllium apical of the table, alternatively than six points adrift of Liverpool, who besides person a crippled successful hand.
Saturday was the 3rd clip this play that the Gunners person had a ‘winning goal’ disallowed aft the involution of Stockley Park.
Yet Havertz was intelligibly offside erstwhile helium netted against Chelsea.
Gabriel Martinelli went excessively aboriginal earlier supplying Bukayo Saka successful the past fewer minutes astatine Fulham.

And connected Saturday, the verdict from the video booth was arsenic clear-cut. Not for everyone, though. The shot “hit his abdomen”. It was “nowhere adjacent his arm”. And champion of all, “What other could helium do?”
Some, it would seem, person still not recognised that ANY attacking handball that leads straight to the shot going into the nett means it is automatically wiped out.
Arsenal ratings: Trossard turns creator to enactment Gunners successful driving spot but Merino and Partey lapses outgo Arteta's side
Arsenal supporters are not unsocial successful concocting a communicative that fits their ‘Us against the world’ narrative.
Indeed, you get the aforesaid moans from an atrocious batch of fans of an atrocious batch of clubs. Last year, successful particular, it was Nottingham Forest.
The Gunners, also, person been connected the incorrect extremity of immoderate contentious calls implicit the past 2 campaigns.
There were a myriad of reasons to regularisation retired Newcastle’s victor astatine St James’ Park past term, portion Bruno Guimaraes was much than fortunate to enactment connected the pitch.
The 2nd yellowish cards for Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard kicking the shot distant against Brighton and Manchester City respectively person not been universally followed by each refs.
And the Brighton punishment grant astatine the Amex earlier this period was odd.
But, equally, Havertz should person been dismissed successful that tempestuous Tyneside clash, Martin Odegaard’s handball successful his ain container astatine Liverpool past word was beyond blatant, portion Arsenal’s equaliser against Tottenham past week came from a country that intelligibly should person been a goal-kick.
Arsenal ratings vs Aston Villa
Arsenal's rubric hopes took a immense deed arsenic they threw distant a two-goal pb against Aston Villa
Leandro Trossard turned supplier for the Gunners to acceptable up some goals arsenic it looked similar they would cruise to 3 points.
But antiaircraft lapses from 2 stars outgo Arteta's broadside dearly.
Here is however SunSport's Jordan Davies rated the players...
DAVID RAYA – 6/10
Let down by those successful beforehand of him for some goals, a duo of adjacent scope efforts helium had nary accidental with.
MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY – 8
With performances similar this, helium is abruptly the archetypal sanction connected the squad expanse for Arteta. So calm and composed for idiosyncratic truthful young, and his spot against bigger absorption is scary astatine times.
GABRIEL – 7
Made a important tackle one-on-one with Watkins and different artifact from a speedy counter
JURRIEN TIMBER – 7
Alert to foil counters against the gait of Watkins and coped good successful general. It is not his responsibility that helium doesn’t person the antiaircraft beingness of Saliba.
THOMAS PARTEY – 6
A large stint astatine close backmost but 1 lapse successful attraction outgo Arsenal the lead, losing way of Watkins successful the container earlier helium volleyed in.
MIKEL MERINO – 6
A workman-like show – won his duels and worked his socks off, but the tiny details were missing, shanking a bully accidental good wide successful the archetypal half.
He past mislaid his marker to let Tielemans to caput successful and marque it 2-1. Could person won it astatine the extremity with a scuffed effort successful disconnected Havertz that VAR chalked disconnected and smacked the station too.
DECLAN RICE – 7
Integral to everything bully astir Arsenal and came adjacent with a long-range punt successful the 2nd half.
MARTIN ODEGAARD – 6
A coagulated show but helium is truly missing his spouse successful transgression successful Saka. He created arsenic overmuch arsenic helium could but sometimes needs to beryllium much selfish to resistance his squad implicit the line.
LEANDRO TROSSARD – 8
Deflected effort was comfy for Martinez but his superb transverse made beingness overmuch harder for the Villa keeper to tee up Martinelli for the opener earlier blazing implicit himself.
The Belgian racked up his 5th Prem assistance of the play successful the 2nd fractional for Havertz.
GABRIEL MARTINELLI – 8
Threatened astatine the acold station aboriginal on, but got his rewards from the aforesaid presumption successful the 35th minute with a stabbed effort up of Maatsen.
KAI HAVERTZ – 8
Again, deficiency of decent work near him surviving disconnected scraps, but erstwhile helium got a scrap helium fired an effort consecutive astatine Martinez from adjacent range.
The German much than made up for it aft the interruption with a objective finish, adjacent if Martinez should person done better. That volition bash wonders for his confidence.
SUBS:
RAHEEM STERLING (MARTINELLI, 82) – 6
A fewer darting runs, but added virtually nothing, different than a needless yellowish card. A cameo that screamed “lacking confidence”.
Seeking to pin the blasted connected extracurricular factors, alternatively than the existent ones, is creating an excuse culture.
Interestingly, Mikel Arteta chose not to spell down the rabbit hole.
Instead, the Arsenal manager criticised his side’s defending and made wide to the Emirates committee that they person to bring successful immoderate due recruits present if they privation to support the play alive.
Realistically, Arsenal’s champion accidental of silverware is by doing what Jurgen Klopp did successful 2019 — lifting the Champions League.
Arsenal tin alteration 3 of their European squad for the knockout phase, including stars who person already played for different broadside successful the contention — similar Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres, Jonathan David of Lille oregon Juventus ace Dusan Vlahovic.
They mightiness besides privation to get a due centre-back successful to screen for William Saliba arsenic Riccardo Calafiori looks to beryllium made of insubstantial paper.
Sometimes you person to speculate to accumulate. This is 1 of those times for Arsenal. And a clip for the supporters to halt trying to spot things that simply are not there.
By the way, 9/11 was not an wrong job. And arsenic for Roswell and Area 51 . . .
