“EPL drop shock statement” “Fixed game for Arsenal” – EPL release shock statement after unthinkable results as Chelsea lose 2-1 to Arsenal
One of the most contentious episodes in the first half of the Premier League clash between Arsenal and Chelsea happened just before the Blues’ equaliser.
Declan Rice appeared to play the ball with his elbow in the Gunners’ penalty area as he was tussling with Jorrel Hato.
After a VAR check, he was not found to have committed a foul. The Premier League Match Centre has issued an official explanation on X.
“The referee’s call of no penalty was checked and confirmed by VAR – with it deemed there was no punishable handball offence with Rice challenging an opponent as the ball hit his arm,” the statement read.
“No one can questioned us we know what we want and what we’re doing we can give Chelsea the penalty and we cannot”
An insider claims the game was fixed for Arsenal to have all 3points by all cost.
