BAD news for all the conspiracy theorists out there. Lee Harvey Oswald did kill JFK. The moon landings were not faked. And Arsenal’s late ‘winner’ against Aston Villa on Saturday was rightly chalked off. More than 48 hours after it was made abundantly clear to anyone with a working set of eyes that Kai Havertz’s forearm had diverted Mikel Merino’s bouncing strike past Emi Martinez, there were still Arsenal fans swearing that black was white.

That’s what happens when you live in an echo chamber — your critical faculties go missing. Rather than questioning how the Gunners threw away a two-goal lead in the space of eight minutes, it had to be about bias, cheating, robbery. To be fair, without VAR, Arsenal might now be top of the table, rather than six points adrift of Liverpool,  who also have a game in hand.

Saturday was the third time this season that the Gunners have had a ‘winning goal’ disallowed after the intervention of Stockley Park. Yet Havertz was clearly offside when he netted  against Chelsea. Gabriel Martinelli went too early before supplying Bukayo Saka in the last few minutes at Fulham.
