Arsenal were "VAR-tuned" in the win against Wolverhampton

The Gunners are said to have been lucky to escape the penalty early in the game when center back William Saliba had an impact on Goncalo Guedes on the home side in the penalty area.

After Manchester City's 1-2 defeat to Brentford in the round of 16 of the NHA, Mikel Arteta's side had a great opportunity to go five points ahead of the Premier League champions.


And with their efforts, they finally made it. Martin Odegaard's second-half brace sealed the Gunners' 2-0 win over Wolves at Molineaux.

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."
