After five wins, Arsenal got off to a good start as a guest at Old Trafford.
VAR and referee Paul Tierney determined that Odegaard pushed behind Eriksen in the situation that led to Martinelli’s shot, so they refused to recognize the goal for Arsenal.
Arteta criticized this decision.
`VAR is too inconsistent,` he said.
Midfielder Odegaard was also frustrated with VAR’s decision.
Arteta was disappointed when Arsenal played better but left Old Trafford empty-handed on September 4.
Even though they lost the match, Arsenal still dominated in statistics.
With 15 points from the first five rounds, Arsenal still holds the top of the table, with one point ahead of Man City and Tottenham, and three points ahead of Man Utd.
After this match, Arteta’s team will visit FC Zurich, while Man Utd will host Real Sociedad on the evening of September 8 in the Europa League.
