William Saliba not punished by VAR for knocking out Goncalo Guedes
But the Gunners were lucky when William Saliba sent off after just eight minutes, with a foul on Goncalo Guedes inside the Arsenal penalty area.
The situation took place in the 8th minute of the game after William Saliba blocked the Wolves midfielder's breakthrough effort in the Arsenal box. However, VAR said no to 11m in this dispute, thereby helping the Gunners escape a goal early in the match.
And this makes the home team's BHL not angry. After the game, Wolves interim manager Steve Davis said: "The decision in the first half should be for us. Guedes was inside and it was a clear foul.
We feel uncomfortable because those moments are really important to us at the moment. It affects the mentality of the team. VAR, not sure if they use it or not?".
Also speaking of the situation, former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink told Sky Sports: 'I think it was really a foul, as simple as that. You can see that Guedes gets the ball before he gets fouled by Saliba and it will be a penalty."
