Arsenal were furious after they were denied a penalty in the first half of their Premier League game against Everton on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Eberechi Eze had played Kai Havertz in on goal but the Arsenal forward appeared to be clipped by Michael Keane.<\/p>\n

Referee Andy Madley waved play on while VAR opted not to send the official to the screen to review the decision.<\/p>\n

In a statement explaining the decision, the Premier League Match Centre said: \u2018The referee\u2019s call of no penalty to Arsenal was checked and confirmed by VAR \u2013 with the contact from Keane on Havertz deemed to be minimal.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n

Meanwhile, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp branded the decision an \u2018absolute disgrace\u2019.<\/p>\n

    \u2018It\u2019s so clear. How on earth have VAR taken three seconds to say that\u2019s not a penalty? That\u2019s a horrendous decision,\u2019 Redknapp said.<\/p>\n

    \u2018It\u2019s definitely a penalty and it should be overturned.<\/p>\n
