Vindication for Arteta: Premier League Admits VAR Error as Manager Signs Extension to Chase Dominance

The Premier League has officially admitted that the penalty awarded against Arsenal in their September 12 victory over Sunderland was a mistake. The Key Match Incidents Panel unanimously ruled that defender Ezri Konsa should not have been penalised for holding Dan Ballard during a corner, calling it a "very untidy challenge" where both players fell. Despite David Raya saving the spot-kick and Arsenal winning 2-0, Mikel Arteta was left fuming at the time.
