Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel heavily criticized the officiating after Arsenal's 1-0 win over West Ham. The veteran goalkeeper expressed his strong disapproval after a late West Ham goal was disallowed by VAR. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
Schmeichel believes that Arsenal scores many goals using the same style of play, and if this situation were considered a foul, the Londoners would not be leading the league table. He did not hide his anger at the inconsistency and double standards in the referees' decision-making process.
Schmeichel says the fact that VAR took five minutes to disallow the goal shows the situation was questionable. He emphasized that it is unfair for a style of physical play allowed throughout the season to be deemed a foul in this specific match.
This victory allowed Arsenal to maintain their lead in the Premier League with 79 points. Manchester City continues the chase with 74 points, though they have a game in hand.
For West Ham, this defeat could prove very costly. For a team sitting in 18th place, the potential point could have been crucial in their fight for survival.
