Gary Neville says he is ‘CONFUSED’ by Gabriel Martinelli’s disallowed purpose for Arsenal in opposition to Everton, with VAR claiming Eddie Nketiah was offside within the build-up

On commentary, Neville advised Sky Sports activities: ‘That is bizarre. Is there no higher angle than that? Even I am somewhat confused, he appeared like he was properly behind.’
At half-time, the studio pundits added their opinions on the decision. Karen Carney stated: ‘I feel that is why everybody’s confused, it is offside. The rule’s the rule. That is the rule. They’re saying he did not imply to do it, so Nketiah is deemed offside.’

Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink added: ‘I feel Beto needs to dam the ball, he is somewhat bit fortunate there. Letter of the regulation, offside is offside.
