The recent 1-0 loss to Aston Villa away has caused further discontent among Arsenal supporters. It’s perceived that a Liverpool supporter played a crucial role in contentious decisions that went against Arsenal, benefiting Liverpool and allowing them to claim the top spot in the Premier League standings.
Following Arsenal’s earlier 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace, they faced a disallowed goal and a seemingly clear penalty denied during the game at Villa Park, ultimately aiding Jurgen Klopp’s team in edging to the top of the table by a single point.
Several Arsenal fans have highlighted this on social media, referencing an article published by Goal a few years ago discussing referee Jarred Gillett’s apparent affinity for Liverpool. The piece mentioned Gillett’s anticipation of officiating a significant game at Anfield and highlighted his inability to oversee Liverpool’s matches. This background is deemed significant when he referees games involving their title rivals.
Despite acknowledging that Arsenal faced challenges and could have performed better in certain aspects during the match, there’s concern about the decisions made by the Premier League and PGMOL in this particular instance.
