da aposte e ganhe: Arsenal’s 2017 ended on a frustrating low note on New Year’s Eve with the Gunners failing to beat West Bromwich Albion in the English Premier League.
da bet sport: After a difficult 80 or so minutes, all three points looked like heading Arsenal’s way after Alexis Sanchez’s free-kick was diverted into the back of the net by James McLean, however a late penalty call gave Jay Rodriguez the chance to convert, which he did to secure a 1-1 scoreline for the Baggies.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger was left fuming with the decision to award the penalty for handball, even accusing referee Mike Dean of not even seeing the incident before blowing his whistle.
Even West Brom manager Alan Pardew admitted that Arsenal were unlucky to see the spot kick awarded.
Arsenal fans couldn’t believe the decision either, with many believing that the decision was all about Mike Dean’s desire to make the game about himself. Some have even called on him to retire or be banned from officiating Arsenal matches.
