Arsenal Draw To Burnley As Champions League Hope Fade
Badmus Abdulsobur
Arsenal lost further ground in their bid to qualify for the Champions League with an eventful 1-1 draw against Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang put Mikel Arteta's men in front on five minutes but Chris Wood equalised before half time following an awful mistake by Granit Xhaka.
Arsenal thought they should have had a penalty in the final 15 minutes when Erik Pieters appeared to handle in the area but referee Andre Marriner did not give it and his decision was ratified by Kevin Friend, the VAR.
There was further drama in the final six minutes when Pieters was then sent off for handling Nicolas Pepe's goalbound effort and a penalty was awarded, only for the red card to be rescinded and the penalty withdrawn following another VAR review that showed Pieters had used his shoulder.
