Mikel Arteta was left bemused by what he felt were VAR inconsistencies after Jamie Vardy escaped a red card during Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Leicester City on Tuesday.
The Gunners looked to be heading for a fourth successive Premier League win after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s first-half opener, but Eddie Nketiah’s straight red 15 minutes from time – shortly after coming off the bench, gave Leicester encouragement.
Nketiah caught James Justin with a high boot to the knee and a VAR check led to the striker’s dismissal, but Arteta felt it highlighted inconsistency.
Vardy, who went on to score a late equaliser, had been involved in an incident just before half-time where his flailing foot caught Shkodran Mustafi in the face as the pair fell to the floor.
