ARSENAL fans were left fuming after they were denied a late winner against Liverpool.
The Gunners have been unhappy about several refereeing decisions this season, particularly the red cards to Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard against Brighton and Manchester City respectively.

But against Liverpool they had a different gripe as they felt they were denied a legitimate goal.
The incident happened in the 90th minute as Jakub Kiwior leapt highest to head a ball forward towards Kai Havertz.
The striker also got the better of his man as he flicked the ball on before lobbing goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
But referee Anthony Taylor judged the German to have fouled Ibrahima Konate, possibly because his arms was raised.
The ball ended up in the back of the net courtesy of Gabriel Jesus after Havertz and Trent Alexander-Arnold tussled for the ball on the goal line.
However Taylor had already blown his whistle which meant the incident could not be reviewed by VAR.
Fans were outraged by the decision to award a free-kick, claiming it was never a foul by Havertz.
One fan reacted saying: “That is one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen in football. Genuinely corrupt.”

Another added: “Worst decision of the season.”
A third wrote: “Disgrace of a decision that’s the worst decision I’ve ever seen.”
And another commented: “Just not a foul is it. Great header.”
