Controversy Erupts Over Arsenal's Winning Goal Against Spurs - Should It Have Stood, Ask Pundits

Gabriel's decisive header in the second half secured the victory for Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

However, Paul Merson and Les Ferdinand both felt as though the goal should not have stood.

“I'd be disappointed if I didn't get a foul. He's in the wrong position, everything is wrong about his defending,” former Gunners striker Merson said on . 

“He's a center half international, even I know and I don't even play at the back you got to be side on. You got to see the ball and your player. 

“To start off you have to be a hand length away and he's standing with him. I'd expect a foul.”
