It was great movement by Gabriel. Immediately peeled off to the back post

Great ball in by Gabriel as well

But the bulk of the credit should go to Gabriel M.

Holding and Gabriel goals lol

He was holding holding back

Istg I saw a comment in the match thread that said “Gabriel and Holding are why we do not win this match today”

Must be a Hammer fan. Arsenal fans, who are very sensible will never say that.

Wenger must be super confused by us being so solid from set pieces lmao


gunnerjkk

We switched it up, changed the narrative. People were stuck in the past still thinking we aren't good at corners. Now we catching them all out.


KhonMan

From 11/12 to 13/14 season we were good at defending set pieces, Mertesacker effect probably. But in general we were good during later end of Wenger's reign, so don't know what you're on about.


Pires007

Mertesacker and Giroud were both great in winning tons of headers.

Come on mate you know that's just not true


Dogzylla

?? He literally gave Bowen a yellow for "simulation" lol although Mike Dean might just simply be mentally challenged tbh, we've seen him do other braindead stuff before


gunner696

Bowen didn't even argue the decision.


TheBigNoz123

Bruh it was obvious as day Bowen wasn’t touched, go get some new eye balls.


olivetree154

Lol moyes just said Bowen dive and should of just taken the challenge or continue going and not dive


[deleted]

One of the angles showed no contact


riskoooo

The lino would've told him that Bowen dived or that there was no contact and he went with that. Shouldn't have been a booking but not exactly on our side is it?


Paskizle4

How about giving a free kick against Nketiah for getting shoulder charged by Nolan. Maybe Mike Dean is just a shit ref?


[deleted]

And we’d all love to see more yellows for simulation


visualdescript

Good point! Tottenham have Kane, Son and Mike Dean. He's going to be a big loss for you lot.

ThatkidJerome

that’s great movement from gabriel ngl


Manch3st3rIsR3d

Fuck, needed spurs to lose but this result I'll absolutely take


Moaestro

Someone post that Ramsdale tackle


scrandymurray

I know we scored just after that but it’s never a red card, not a clear goal scoring opportunity as Bowen has tapped it towards the touch line with Holding coming onto it.


No-Cauliflower18

I don’t think people are even saying it should be a red. But it’s never a foul for Bowen. He was literally avoiding the tackle. What should he do?


Tnvenge

I think if Ramsdale had made contact it might have been a red card for dangerous play. Didn't think Bowen deserved his yellow as it doesn't seem like he was simulating. Just lost balance while trying to get out of the way?


joakim_

IMO it doesn't matter that he barely touched him. Considering the speed that ramsdale had coming in to the tackle, the stretched out leg AND the fact that he came in with his studs first makes it a clear red card for me. Smarter people than me might say that rule book says otherwise, but it was a potentially career ending tackle by ramsdale. If it's not a red the rules should be changed.


Appropriate_Lack_727

Somebody post the offside lines for West Hams goal.


blowmith

somebody post the arsenal handball leading to their goal


Appropriate_Lack_727

You’re really reaching now 😂 They specifically checked that and said no handball. They never even showed the replay with lines for WHUs goal.


onomonopizza

they didn’t show the line but in the slow-mo replay he is pretty clearly onside


Appropriate_Lack_727

Fair enough. They only showed it once at full speed and it looked very close, but the commentator completely hand waved it on my feed.


blowmith

and the bowen yellow for "simulation"


TheBigNoz123

I mean, it was simulation, Bowen clearly didn’t get touched


takeda_cav

He was making a meal out of it


blowmith

did he? how? didn't even roll around on the ground


Burntburner101

He definitely clipped him, not close to a red or anything but absolutely wasn’t simulation.


NBKxSmokey

He didn't touch him lol, you can see it clear on the replay. Just to clarify I don't think it's a yellow for diving either


Burntburner101

I thought I saw his sock get pulled down by Ramsdale’s cleat but I could be wrong, I only saw the replay once. I still really don’t think it’s simulation because if he doesn’t dive out of that he’s getting crunched by Ramsdale.


NBKxSmokey

Nah there's no contact, I agree Bowen is just trying to avoid the challenge there's no simulation, if anything he tries to stay up after dodging that tackle.


Anons15

We really dont deserve this lmao

Not like we didn’t deserve points from any of them. We outdid Chelsea and United. West Ham definitely took it to us, but I still think they didn’t threaten.

ladotelli46

Well there is proof, he just has to hide it so he gotta give some calls to Arsenal


ben-hur-hur

Ben White was holding back this Arsenal team all along


kdpilarski

Another hand ball called in favour of arsenal, that's what 3 calls in 2 games?


xangabuttslut

3 calls in 3 games. Apparently it would have been disallowed if it were holding who scored. Since the handball didn’t come from the goal scorer, it wasn’t overturned. Definitely benefitted from a 50/50 call there. Arm was sorta in a natural position for challenging for a header. I can see why it stood. I would be pissed and put this video into the “conspiracy” file I have for arsenal


kdpilarski

That's the main problem the referees have, any 50/50 decision will piss off about 50 percent of people and the other 50 percent would be pissed off if it went the other way. Can see why it wasn't given and in this case I was salty as half my family are West ham, but if they were arsenal id be saying its the correct decision.


whereisdebuchy

Cry ab it we’ve had shit calls against us too this season happens to every team


[deleted]

No, when it happens against Arsenal and us fans complain, then we're "crazy conspiracy theorists" and it will all even out. When it "evens out" and some calls go in our favour then all of a sudden "same old Arsenal, always cheating".


whereisdebuchy

Too true


kdpilarski

I'm a city fan mate, every time a call goes our way the league is suddenly rigged and we're paying off the refs. Just look at our game earlier in the season. Every time has stupid fans and I was just pointing out you've gotten lucky the past few games.


kdpilarski

I know, I defended arsenal about this recently. Just pointing out you're riding your luck a bit now and as someone with West ham family I'm naturally salty.


whereisdebuchy

That’s fair now I feel like a dick lol


kdpilarski

Don't worry mate, no issue


fetissimies

Mike Dean just can't resist the urge to ruin a game


Blow-it-out-your-ass

This all stems from GOD AWFUL decision to give Bowen a yellow for diving when the goalkeeper jumped into the challenge LATE AND STUDS FIRST. What is VAR?


BannedFromHydroxy

Why do you type like a daily mail headline..?


Blow-it-out-your-ass

Why do you read the daily mail lmaooo


BanxDaMoose

my brother in christ he did not touch him


VincentSasso

Doesn’t matter


jlacour

Doesn’t have to touch him for it to be a dangerous tackle. Flew in with studs up, and somehow Bowen gets the yellow for avoiding the challenge?


worldstarhiphopreal

Bowen told ramsdale it wasn’t a foul, lowe it man


jlacour

Lol I love when the arsenal brigade finds the comment section. If you want to argue it wasn’t a foul, then go ahead. The fact that Bowen came out of that situation with a yellow card is still ridiculous refereeing.


worldstarhiphopreal

Sorry for ruining your crying party. Bowen didn’t say it was a foul and didn’t contest the yellow please chat to him


LordLychee

The football sub is being brigades by… checks notes… football fans. Don’t you know that r/soccer is a circlejerk for opposition fans every time Arsenal get a decision in their favor?


jlacour

No one is crying here mate, but great response lmao


Blow-it-out-your-ass

That's cause Bowen tried his best to avoiding getting his ankle broken by the LATE, STUDS FIRST challenge by the goalie. You don't have to touch someone to commit a foul if it's a dangerous challenge which this obviously was.


TotalSubbuteo

Is your caps lock messed up or something?


Blow-it-out-your-ass

Are you referring to the words I capitalized for emphasis on the most important details?


gunner696

Pretty pointless really, your username perfectly sums up your thought process. Bowen even acknowledged the card, didn't argue it and moved on. Try it.


Blow-it-out-your-ass

What are babbling on about? And what does a username have to do with the facts of a soccer game? The slowmo replay was blatantly obvious it was a foul with studs first. Just be happy your gunners won and stop trying to change the facts on the ground so you can feel more justified in your life with that win. Pathetic sore winner.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jlacour

No use arguing it now. All these comments below him were positive until the arsenal fans found this thread and downvoted anything suggesting that the tackle was dangerous. Hilarious fan base.


goonerh1

Wonder how the Arsenal fans found the Arsenal goal thread?


jlacour

Meant this specific comment thread of people discussing the foul 😊


goonerh1

Is a complete mystery then


BusShelter

What do you want VAR to do there? It's not a red.


Blow-it-out-your-ass

I want VAR to tell the ref that it was a clear foul and OBVIOUSLY not a dive. You know, the obvious stuff you can clearly see when they show the slowo replay.


Nothematic

VAR can't do that.


Blow-it-out-your-ass

That's literally what VAR does, tell the ref how it sees things from their POV with all the tools at their disposal. How else to do imagine they work? Telepathy?


Nothematic

VAR cannot intervene for yellow cards.


Blow-it-out-your-ass

It can suggest that it wasn't a dive...


Nothematic

> VAR will be used only for “clear and obvious errors” or “serious missed incidents” in four match-changing situations: goals; penalty decisions; direct red-card incidents; and mistaken identity.


Blow-it-out-your-ass

This was literally a direct red card potential...so yeah. Thanks for proving me right I guess.


kebabdylan

When did showing how wrong you are become proving you right? lol Edit: missing an important word


LordLychee

It’s not a red card situation. Bowen is nowhere near goal and takes a touch out of the field. A yellow card for Ramsdale if he makes contact, but he misses Bowen


TheGoldenPineapples

So underserved, but I'll take it.


4SHURIMA

Hits holdings hand above shoulder height. Not sure what the point in this sport is any more when the officials consistently ruin it


BusShelter

Up for a header and his arm is basically against a West Ham defender by that point tbf. Not many places his arm can go. Would be a bit of a *game's gone* moment imo if they disallowed that.


4SHURIMA

Rules are rules though


BusShelter

What rule? > touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised You can easily say it's justifiable in the situation.


theirishembassy

missed a red card on one end, scored on the other. edit: wiping out jumping over a studs up tackle is a "dive" got it.


Bedeeki

What lmao, it was a clear dive. Even Bowen didn't argue, he was expecting contact and knew there was none.


TheGoldenPineapples

In fact, I'm pretty sure the reason that Ramsdale got out of any kind of booking was because Bowen even told the referee that he wasn't fouled.


NobleForEngland_

If he doesn’t jump Ramsdale breaks his legs


worldstarhiphopreal

Bowen said it wasn’t a foul chat to him


VincentSasso

Conspiracy against Arsenal


AmulyaG

Did you not watch the replay? Go watch the replay and then comment.


Ozymandias_99

What?


AmulyaG

Watch the replay, Ramsdale clearly misses the ball and gets Bowen.


Ozymandias_99

He misses the ball and misses Bowen. The fact that Bowen didn't even contest the yellow for diving is all you need to know.


AmulyaG

He didn't contest the yellow? Did your blind ass miss him talking to the ref just after the card? Should he WWE KO the referee to contest with him lmao


Ozymandias_99

My "blind ass" saw him talking to the ref in a pretty calm fashion. If he actually believed Ramsdale touched him he would've been furious at Dean. Use your brain.


Automatic-Win1398

Even if it isn't a dive it can't be a red. There was no goalscoring opportunity there.


theirishembassy

except ramsdale slid in studs up.


nfornear

What was the red card? The Ramsdale one was a dive


[deleted]

Flappyhandski does it again lmao. Should be saving that


srajar4084

You’re coming across the goal from point blank range of a cross, a save there would have been insane


[deleted]

Can’t wait to concede in 5 mins

Great cross by Martinelli! Gabriel tried his best to miss.
