Fans furious Crystal Palace ‘robbed’ in Arsenal clash with Gabriel Jesus ‘clearly offside’ for crucial goal

A rule changed profited Arsenal

FANS fumed at Crystal Palace being "robbed" against Arsenal with Gabriel Jesus' goal "clearly offside".

The North Londoners are into the Carabao Cup semi-final following a dramatic 3-2 win against Crystal Palace.

Fans were convinced Gabriel Jesus was offside

Jesus bagged a hat-trick, while Jean-Philippe Mateta and former Gunner Eddie Nketiah scored for Palace.

But controversy struck for Jesus' second goal as fans were convinced replays proved the striker was offside.

Bukayo Saka played through Jesus, who hammered past Dean Henderson as fans fumed online.

One said: "Anyone with eyes can see Gabriel Jesus is clearly offside before he scored.

"Arsenal can consider themselves extremely lucky here. It’s almost like these officials forgot how to do their jobs without VAR."

Another added: "The linesman had a CLEAR view but STILL couldn't see that Gabriel Jesus was OFFSIDE!"

One raged: "Gabriel Jesus is clearly offside in the second goal. Crystal Palace have been robbed!"

But another argued: "He's not. The the defender above him puts him onside."

VAR is not used up until the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup - as Arsenal progressed into the last four alongside Newcastle and Liverpool.

Jesus said: "I have scored a lot of goals but sometimes I have this problem with a lack of goals.

“I can create, I can make assist, I can run and help the team defending.

"When I score everyone sees, but when I don’t they want their striker to score goals and I agree with that.

“That is why I am working a lot in training, finishing more, putting myself in a good position to finish the action. I think my hard work has paid off.”
