      New TV angle shows why Gabriel has Arsenal goal taken away as Premier League release statement on controversial strike

      by

      FANS were left raging after Arsenal’s second goal against Crystal Palace was attributed to a Dean Henderson own goal rather than Gabriel.The goal looked to have been nodded on target by the Arsenal defender, before taking a big deflection off Henderson, for his second of the game.

      The Brazilian had already shown he was a threat after scoring after 11 minutes courtesy of a Leandro Trossard delivery.
      And The Gunners were able to repeat the trick after 37 minutes when Bukayo Saka’s whipped corner found the head of Gabriel again.
      The goal looked to clearly be Gabriel’s given the goalbound nature of the header.
      However, the ball did bounce up off the back of Henderson’s head on its way in, leading to debate over who should be given the credit for second.

      The punditry team in the TNT Sports studio were also convinced that it was a Henderson own goal.
      Adding to the confusion was the fact that the Premier League’s official X account (formerly known as Twitter) initially had the goal down as Gabriel’s courtesy of a Saka assist.
      But the account has since then updated fans to say the goal was in fact down to Henderson’s head rather than Gabriel’s.
      The account tweeted a statement to say: “After review, the Goal Accreditation Panel have confirmed Arsenal’s second goal to be an own goal by Dean Henderson.

      “Gabriel is therefore awarded the assist.”
      Footage from TNT behind the goal showed why this was the case.
      Despite Gabriel losing his man to head a shot on goal, it looks as though it would have rolled across the width of the six yard box had it not been for Henderson’s head.
      One confused fan wrote: “He’s literally headed it on target, how’s that different to a deflection?”
      Another wrote: “The header was on target though.”
      While a third said: “The goal accreditation panel is wrong on this decision.”

      The curious case of Kai Havertz
      Having spent ÂŁ65m on the German midfielder in the summer, you have to wonder whether Mikel Arteta has ever seen a Chelsea game.
      Since arriving at The Emirates, the player has failed to impress and today was no different.
      Another anonymous performance where fans are left wondering if he is still on the pitch.

      Copy linkCopiedGunners move up table with win
      Arsenal move into third place in the Premier League, level on points with Aston Villa and Man City.
      They currently sit only two points behind leaders Liverpool.
      With Jurgen Klopp’s side due to visit The Emirates soon, this seems a mouth-watering prospect.

      It only takes one moment to change the impetus of a season, and maybe Leandro Trossard’s goal to make it 3-0 was just that.
      Despite winning 2-0 thanks to two set-pieces, the mood inside the ground was flat. Arsenal were still not clicking with ball at feet and were terribly clunky in attack.
      And then came a free-flowing counter that brought the noise. David Raya’s quick throw-out, Gabriel Jesus’ driving run and pass and Trossard’s venomous finish.
      The sort of goal the swashbuckling Gunners of last season would have scored – rapid, direct and fantastically fluid. Arteta celebrated by shouting “VAMOS” while applauding Raya.
      The first open-play goal in this stadium by Arsenal since December 17.
      Maybe this is the one that brings the confidence back that this side desperately need to feed off for the rest of the campaign in the hunt for the title.

      I’m a Premier League title winner with Arsenal – Mikel Arteta needs to send urgent message to Gunners stars

      by

      MIKEL ARTETA needs to instil an important message into his players’ minds if they are to win the Premier League title this season, says club legend Ray Parlour.The Gunners’ bid to win their first league trophy since 2004, when Parlour was still playing with the Invincibles, has faltered after losing three of their last five matches to Aston Villa, West Ham and Fulham.

      That led to the North Londoners plunging to fourth place in the table and getting eliminated from the FA Cup by Liverpool.
      Despite recent struggles, former midfielder Parlour remains adamant Arsenal still have a massive chance of conquering the Prem as long as they win their next “three or four games” to regain their momentum.
      That in turn would help them find the required form that would allow them to become consistent, something that will be especially important in April and May when they approach the finish line.
      The ex-England international remembered how that sort of mentality helped Arsene Wenger’s side win the Double in 1998.

      Arsenal were 12 points away from the top but a massive victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford led to a 10-game unbeaten run that saw Parlour lift one of three league trophies he won.
      But in order to do that Arteta needs to make his players understand that they’re still in a title race despite their recent poor run.
      The 50-year-old hopes these sort of necessary talks took place during the club’s recent warm-weather training camp in Dubai.
      Parlour told SunSport on behalf of NetBet Betting: “Well, all they got to do now is win their next three or four games, that is vital now [starting with] Crystal Palace next week.
      Most read in Football
      “You know they’ve had that little bit of a blip, sometimes when a break comes around is a bad time for your club. When you do really well you want the next games to come on very, very quickly.
      “But I think this break has come at a good time for Arsenal where they’ve had three defeats to Liverpool, Fulham and West Ham but now they can go away together.
      “They can have a couple of meetings, they can get that little bit of togetherness because they are in a title race still, as much as they’ve had three disappointing results – I mean the FA Cup is always an important trophy for the club as well but they are in a title race.
      “Whether Man City drop points we’ll have to wait and see. They nearly dropped points at the weekend against Newcastle, [Kevin] De Bruyne made a big difference when he came off the bench.

      “But you’re still in a title race and that is what Mikel Arteta has got to get across to the players. It’s an old cliche, one game at a time but the next three games for Arsenal gotta guarantee three wins.
      “As a title winner myself, it doesn’t really kick in. You got to stay in the hunt. But when you get to the last seven games, that’s when every game is so important, every single game.
      “And I’ll go back to ’98, we was 12 points behind [and] we managed to get a run going. We beat Manchester United at Old Trafford and then we went on a 10-game unbeaten run. That’s that sort of form you gotta find towards that sort of time.
      “I mean, March [and] April, is when it really starts hotting up. That’s when it starts.

      Being a fan of a club is not always a matter of choice – many are born into it or follow their local team.
      Bet Gambling Site has analysed the financial data and created an index ranking of the most expensive football clubs in the Premier League. 
      And Tottenham have topped the table for the first time, but it’s not the one they would want to.
      Scores were ranked from average matchday ticket price, average season ticket price, matchday food cost (price of a pint, tea and pie together), price of parking and membership cost (per year).

      Then each ranking factor was assigned a weight to calculate an affordability score out of 100.
      The Lilywhites scored the lowest, making it the least affordable to support, with a dismal score of 19.45.
      Arsenal followed with a score of 28.5, while fellow Londoners West Ham (34.17), Fulham (41.34) and Chelsea (49.98) came in after.
      The Hammers’ London Stadium has the most expensive matchday food in the EPL, with the price of a pint, tea and pie together being ÂŁ14.25.

      But its the London Stadium again who have the most expensive matchday tickets on average, costing ÂŁ75.
      Meanwhile, Bournemouth is the league’s most affordable club with a rating of 84.1.
      The Cherries is the most value-friendly, with no membership fees and cheap parking at just ÂŁ6.00.
      This is something the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium can only dream of as parking racks up to a staggering ÂŁ37.
      Completing the top ten list from the sixth spot are Aston Villa (50.53), Manchester City (51.68), Crystal Palace (57.15), Everton (58.16) and Brentford (58.74). More

      Greece boss Gus Poyet reveals return date for injured Liverpool ace in big boost for Jurgen Klopp after Mo Salah injury

      by

      A touchline tangle between the left-back and Bukayo Saka ten minutes before the break sent the former crashing into the Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp who went down with his player.
      The 27-year-old, who was filling in for Andy Robertson who’s also injured, was immediately taken to hospital where the extent of his injury was confirmed.
      However, Poyet is confident the Greece international will be back in two months at the latest.
      In fact, Tsimikas will be fighting fit for Greece’s crucial Euro 2024 play-off semi-final clash against Kazakhstan at OPAP Arena.

      And if Ethniki make it past Magomed Adiyev’s side then the Greek star will also compete in the final on March 26 at either Luxembourg or Georgia.
      The Chelsea and Tottenham legend added that the ex-Olympiacos star is “very happy with the progression” of his rehabilitation, which is going faster than expected.
      Poyet told SunSport on behalf of William Hill: Yes, for sure [Tsimikas will play against Kazakhstan].
      “If nothing goes wrong now Tsimi is going to be back very, very soon. He’s very happy with the progression, it’s going quicker than expected.

      “It’s typical, that when they put a range of six to eight weeks or four to six weeks.
      “For Tsimi it’s [always] going to be the shortest one, which is fantastic.
      “Obviously, then it depends on how much he will play. But, you know, I’m in contact with him and I’m sure he’s going to be available.”
      This poses as a major boost for Liverpool boss Klopp, who is currently dealing with a major injury headache.
      Tsimikas’ close friend Mohamed Salah limped off the pitch during Egypt’s 2-2 draw with Ghana on Thursday at the Africa Cup of Nations.
      The Egyptian FA announced that Salah suffered a hamstring strain and will miss his country’s next two matches.
      As a result, the winger is ruled out of their final group match against Cape Verde as well as the Round of 16, if they qualify.

      Ivan Toney ready for Prem’s biggest comeback since Eric Cantona as Brentford boss backs him to emulate Man Utd legend

      by

      NOT since Eric Cantona returned from his ban for kung-fu kicking a fan has the Premier League seen a comeback quite like it.A talismanic striker bristling with a sense of injustice after serving a lengthy suspension.

      For Cantona, read Brentford’s England striker Ivan Toney, who makes his long-awaited return against Nottingham Forest this evening, after an eight-month suspension for 232 breaches of betting rules.
      And Bees boss Thomas Frank is not shy of embracing comparisons between Toney and Manchester United’s brooding Gallic genius.
      Asked whether he could see  similarities between the two players, especially their supreme self-belief, Frank replied: “Yeah, I would say so. Ivan’s confidence is amazing.”
      To illustrate this Frank tells the story of a conversation with his centre-back Charlie Goode, a close friend of Toney’s since they were kids together at Northampton Town.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      “I had a good talk with Charlie about a year ago,” said Frank, “we were talking about Ivan.
      “When Ivan came to the club from Peterborough, in the first three games he hadn’t scored and Charlie asked him ‘are you OK?’
      “Ivan replied, ‘Yeah, I’ll smash the scoring record in the Championship, I will score more than 30 goals’.
      “Charlie just looked at him, surprised — and Ivan did break the record [scoring 31 times in 2020-21].

      “He has got that confidence. He believes he can score in every action. And that is a huge quality.”
      Others, such as Rio Ferdinand, Luis Suarez and Joey Barton have suffered lengthy bans since but for Brentford — who have fallen into the drop zone after five straight league defeats — this is their Cantona moment.
      Asked if he recalled the United legend’s comeback in 1995, Frank replied: “I remember the situation but I can’t remember when he came back.”
      Told that Cantona had scored against Liverpool after his nine-month absence, Frank smiled: “Did he! Did they win?” Informed that Cantona had netted the equaliser in a 2-2 draw, Frank laughed: “Oh! Would I take it if Ivan scored and it was a draw, or for him to not score and we get the win? I think I’d still take the win.
      “But I’d rather take a goal from Ivan and a win.”
      “It is 99.9 per cent that he will stay here. Football is crazy so you never know what will happen tomorrow. He is committed to helping the team.”Thomas Frank on Ivan Toney
      Frank fielded 31 questions on Toney at an unusually-packed press conference  but the boss wasn’t complaining, as he embraced the feel-good factor.
      In sub-zero temperatures at Brentford’s Osterley training base, Dane Frank did not have the demeanour of a manager whose side have lost five straight league matches and just been knocked out of the FA Cup.
      Frank believes that the fact Toney is not returning from an injury will make it far easier for him to find his feet after a long-term absence.
      And he offered a comparison with Christian Eriksen, who first took the field again with Brentford in 2022 following a cardiac arrest while playing for Denmark in the Euros seven months earlier.
      Frank said: “Mentally, it’s different to coming back from injury.
      “I think he is a player that will hit the ground running.
      “I compare it — it’s different, but a little bit — to Christian Eriksen.

      “Also, he was not ‘injured’ if that makes sense. Of course it was a crazy thing that happened to Christian  but he hit the ground running and I expect the same from Ivan.”
      Those who know Toney best claim his levels of self-assuredness are extraordinary, even by Premier League standards.
      He has previously spoken of feeling he has been ‘scapegoated’ — suggesting that players in lower leagues have received softer penalties for similar offences.
      Yet the FA was pushing for a 12-month ban, given that Toney’s offences included 13 bets on his own club losing — although he did not play in those matches.
      When Frank was asked whether Toney, 27, was sorry for his misdemeanours, the Dane was unable to admit he was remorseful.
      He said: “It’s not like he thinks it’s fantastic that he made a mistake.
      “Let’s say in a football match he is always holding his hand up if there is something he should have done better.
      “But ‘sorry’ is a big word. If it could have been done differently, yeah, I think he would have done, but he moves on and he is looking forward.”
      Frank does concede Toney’s sense of injustice might provide him with extra ‘edge’ for his comeback against Forest, the side he scored his most recent goal against last May.
      “He has got that confidence. He believes he can score in every action. And that is a huge quality.”Thomas Frank
      Toney has been linked with a move to Chelsea or Arsenal and the player himself has not shied away from the possibility of a January transfer.
      Yet the Gunners have no interest in signing him during the current window and Frank says he is ‘99.9 per cent sure’ his star man will stay for the rest of this season.
      Frank said: “There’s an argument that he is the second-best striker in the Premier League.
      “Last year he was third after Harry Kane and Erling Haaland. Of course he needs to prove it again.
      “It is 99.9 per cent that he will stay here. Football is crazy so you never know what will happen tomorrow. He is committed to helping the team.
      “There have been no offers. We are committed to each other. I haven’t seen one day of training where he didn’t want to give to the team.
      “I’m convinced he will do the same against Forest and for the rest of the season.

      “He is a special character in many ways. A fantastic person.
      “The energy he brings, the smile, the positivity every day at the training ground is a massive thing and on the pitch he drags people with him, so it’s a massive boost.” More
