VAR explain why Patrick Dorgu's goal stood in Arsenal vs Man United despite complaints

It has been explained why Patrick Dorgu's stunning strike for Manchester United against Arsenal was not ruled out for a handball. Former Premier League referee Mike Dean relayed the stance of VAR which stated any offence being committed was "inconclusive".

Dean said on Sky Sports: "We've just heard from the VAR, Paul Tierney, and it's a fair comment, it's inconclusive, you can't tell. That's what VAR just said, it looks like it's hit his hip. On field decision is correct, goal is given."

The Denmark international combined superbly with Bruno Fernandes before unleashing a cannon from the edge of the box.

It looked as though the ball may have brushed his hand in the build up, but replays showed that it was unclear with the goal being given as such.

Bryan Mbeumo had earlier taken advantage of a major Martin Zubimendi mistake to cancel out an own goal from Lisandro Martinez.

The nervousness of Arsenal was sensed by those in the Sky Sports studio with Roy Keane delivering an honest verdict on United's first goal.

He said: "I don't know where Declan [Rice] is going there, the ball goes back to [Martin] Zubimendi a bit too quickly really. He's got to do better."

"A bit of calmness, a bit of composure. And United obviously have had a lot of encouragement. You can see it here again, Arsenal, just even trying to keep it at the back.

"They looked a bit nervous at the back. Lovely, lovely finish and United deserved that. There's definitely tension in the air and they're not dealing with it."

A win at Emirates Stadium would be absolutely massive for United and move them back up to fourth following Chelsea's victory at Crystal
