Explained: Why VAR disallowed Leandro Trossard's beautiful goal for Arsenal vs Leicester City

Arsenal had a first-half goal disallowed after Leandro Trossard fired into the top corner against Leicester on Saturday.

  • Trossard fired in from edge of box
  • Goal disallowed after VAR check
  • White had fouled Leicester goalkeeper
  • WHAT HAPPENED? The Belgian thought he had opened the scoring at the King Power Stadium when he sent the ball sailing into the top corner from the edge of the box shortly after an Arsenal corner. However, the celebrations were cut short as referee Craig Pawson was urged by VAR to review the replay.

    WHY WASN'T IT GIVEN? The goal was disallowed as the VAR check revealed there had been a foul on goalkeeper Danny Ward by Ben White as the two teams fought for the ball inside the Leicester box.
