Arsenal's 1:1 summary against Brentford (Sport1)
The soccer fans in Israel usually complain about the weak refereeing in the Premier League, but the truth is that this is a worldwide blow, and yesterday (Saturday) the top English league also suffered a very bad day from the screen referees with some controversial decisions.
The biggest and most serious mistake came in Arsenal's game, which yesterday (Saturday) recorded a second loss of points in a row after 1:1 against Brentford, and on Wednesday (9:30 p.m., Sport1) they will host Manchester City, who will be able to overtake them in the table, if the champion wins today Aston Villa (18:30, Sport1).
For the Gunners, this was the first time this season where they lost points in two consecutive games in the Premier League, this after the 1:0 loss to Everton in the previous round.

It turns out that the VAR referee Lee Mason forgot to draw the different line in the changeable tie in Brentford's department, mistakenly giving Arsenal two precious points in the background of the close and difficult championship fight.
A nervous Arteta thought the goal should have been disallowed because of an incident earlier in the game when Eitan Pinnock was in front of Gabriel when the crucial free-kick was lifted into the box, but after a lengthy delay it was ruled that he had not interfered with the move.
Screen referee Mason took a long time to decide Pinok was not involved in the move, but then missed the key incident and reviewed it without drawing the crucial VAR lines.
Had he done so, Norgaard would have been disqualified for offside and Toni's goal in the 74th minute disallowed.
Restrained joy at the end.

Mikel Arteta on Ivan Toni's equalizer: "I think there was a difference that wasn't checked well enough in Toni's goal. It's frustrating, but we'll wait for the referee's explanations later. In order to win, you have to succeed in the little things, win after win. It was a tough game, We knew it would not be easy. Credit goes to Brentford for the way they stood on the field. Manchester City? It will be a huge game, we are aware of that. We will prepare for it and look forward to a beautiful game of football."

By the way, this was not the only mistake.
Brighton had an Estofians goal disallowed, as the VAR referees marked the line from the wrong player.
Chelsea didn't get a penalty against West Ham, after a clear handball by Tomas Suchek ("It was a great save," said the Chelsea coach sarcastically), and Wolves' Mina received a red card (second yellow) for a secondary protest to the referee.
