The refereeing organization will release the VAR audio recording of the Newcastle vs. Arsenal match

In the match where Newcastle defeated Arsenal 1-0, Gordon scored in the 64th minute to give Newcastle the lead. The goal underwent three VAR checks. The referee initially confirmed if the ball went out of play, then checked for any subsequent fouls, and subsequently analyzed potential offside situations.

After VAR assessed the replay footage, they examined whether the ball had gone out of play before Willock regained possession. Additionally, they noted Gabriel falling under Joliton's challenge, and Gordon subsequently scoring an open goal. Ultimately, VAR concluded that there was no clear angle showing the ball had gone out before Willock's cross. They also confirmed that Gabriel was not fouled, and Gordon was not offside, thus ruling the goal as valid.

Reports suggest that the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) had informed Arsenal in advance that the VAR audio recording of the controversial winning goal by Newcastle forward Anthony Gordon would be released on Tuesday in the program "Mic'd Up," hosted by referee Webb. "Mic'd Up," a monthly show hosted by Webb and Michael Owen, aims to increase transparency in referee decisions and was launched in May.

Furthermore, it is understood that the English Football Association had written to Arsenal and coach Arteta, requesting explanations for their post-match comments. According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal replied to the FA's letter on Monday morning.
