VAR Denies Manchester United Goal on Controversial Camera Angle

Marcus Rashford's Strike Ruled Out After Review

In a dramatic turn of events, Manchester United were denied a potential equalizer at Arsenal after the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) ruled a Marcus Rashford goal offside. The incident occurred in the 83rd minute, with United trailing 2-0, when Rashford converted a cross from Alejandro Garnacho.

Camera Angle Scrutiny

VAR officials reviewed the goal thoroughly and determined that Rashford was offside based on a still image taken from a particular camera angle. The angle showed Rashford's toe slightly ahead of the last Arsenal defender, which is the determining factor in offside decisions.

However, many football pundits and fans have questioned the decision, arguing that the angle used by VAR was not conclusive. They maintain that a different camera angle might have shown Rashford to be onside or that the margins were so narrow as to warrant allowing the goal.

Arsenal Holds On for Victory

Despite the disallowed goal, Arsenal held on for a 3-1 victory, thanks to stoppage-time goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus. The win takes Arsenal eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table, while Manchester United remain in 11th place.
