Timber penalty, handball verdict and VAR mistake – Arsenal vs West Ham referee review
Football.london dissected several crucial refereeing decisions during Arsenal’s 2–0 victory over West Ham, especially the penalty awarded to Arsenal when Jurrien Timber was brought down. The review notes that although contact may have begun just outside the box, the decisive foul occurred inside, justifying John Brooks’ penalty decision. The VAR backed the call, meaning the spot-kick stood.
Beyond the penalty, the article questions a missed chance earlier in the match — a moment when Bukayo Saka appeared to score but was ruled offside. The review argues that West Ham’s defender El Hadji Malick Diouf made the decisive touch, which should have reset the offside phase; however, the officials judged the contact as incidental and upheld the offside call.
Another debated moment came with a possible handball by Konstantinos Mavropanos in the second half. The ball struck his arm, but the VAR decided it was part of his natural movement and not an unnatural enlargement of the body, so no penalty was given. Football.london suggested that, in more lenient leagues, that might have been punished — but under Premier League interpretations, the decision was within acceptable limits.
Overall, the review paints a picture of tight margins and subjective judgment, noting that while the penalty decision was defensible, the offside and handball calls remain worthy of debate.

Mikel Arteta has expressed his delight after revealing that William Saliba and some of his teammates were watching
🗣️ Mikel Arteta has expressed his delight after revealing that William Saliba and some of his teammates were watching Atletico Madrid’s recent match on the team bus in preparation for Arsenal’s upcoming fixture. The Arsenal manager said he didn’t instruct the players to do it — the idea came entirely from them — and he couldn’t be happier with their attitude. Arteta praised their professionalism and commitment, saying that such initiative shows how focused and determined the squad is to succeed at the highest level.
He explained that facing a team like Atletico Madrid requires early preparation and understanding of their playing style, and seeing players like Saliba take that responsibility on their own reflects the strong mentality growing within the group. Arteta described it as a sign of maturity and leadership, noting that the team’s desire to learn and improve every day is what makes them special. The manager added that this self-driven approach is exactly what he wants from his squad — players who think ahead, stay engaged, and constantly push themselves. Arteta concluded by saying that this kind of initiative shows Arsenal are evolving into a team capable of competing with Europe’s best.
