Breaking news:It’s happening again, and Arsenal fans are rightly fuming. In a shocking post-match revelation, the referee from the Everton vs Arsenal game has openly admitted the penalty he awarded to Everton “wasn’t actually a penalty” and says he regrets the decision. That’s right — regrets it.
The controversial moment came during a tightly contested match when the referee pointed to the spot after what appeared to be minimal contact between an Everton player and an Arsenal defender. Fans and pundits were immediately puzzled, but now we have confirmation straight from the source: the decision was wrong.
In his statement, the referee explained he made the call based on his angle at the time, fearing he’d miss a clear and obvious foul. “It wasn’t actually a penalty,” he said. “But in that moment, I thought I saw something that wasn’t there. I truly regret that decision.”
Regret doesn’t change the result, though. Arsenal dropped points in a crucial match, and once again, fans are left feeling like decisions always go against them. From disallowed goals to questionable red cards and now phantom penalties, the Gunners seem to be on the wrong side of these calls far too often.
Where’s the consistency? Where’s the accountability? And why does it keep happening to us?
Yes, mistakes happen. Refs are human. But with VAR, there’s supposed to be a safety net. Instead, Arsenal are suffering — again — from officiating errors that could cost them dearly in the title race.
An apology is a start, but it won’t erase the injustice. Arsenal deserve better. The fans deserve better. And this has to stop.
We’re not asking for favors. Just fairness. Is that too much?
