Joe Willock was robbed, a goal for Arsenal vs Chelsea with the ball well over line… But with VAR

That’s a goal by Joe Willock. It should be 2-2….. Willock, who impressed in a goal-laden loan spell at Newcastle United last season, came on to try and turn the game in his side's favour. And he thought he had done just that, when his shot bounced off the crossbar and over the line in the 81st minute. But with no goal line technology or VAR in use for this friendly game, Willock was forced to play on in disbelief that the officials had missed it. Fans flocked to social media, labelling this decision as 'disgraceful'. And the Gunners went on to lose the game 2-1. Kai Havertz had given Chelsea a 27th minute lead, when he rifled home Timo Werner's pass following a swift counter attack. Arsenal's bad afternoon was compounded when Thomas Partey was forced off with an ankle injury following a robust challenge by Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The Ghanaian's replacement Granit Xhaka did manage to level in the 67th minute, towering above Danny Drinkwater to head home.
