BREAKING NEWS: FIFA president finally intervene in Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest Penalty call saga as PGMOL releases OFFICIAL statement this morning, Referee in action suspended till further as FIFA president delivers honest judgement Today<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Arsenal have been handed a clear verdict on two huge penalty shouts from their goalless draw against Nottingham Forest. As a result of that stalemate, the Gunners dropped more points in the Premier League title race at the City Ground which saw Liverpool extend the gap at the top to 13.<\/p>\n

In terms of chances, Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino went close for the visitors while Chris Wood was denied by David Raya. However, things could have been very different had Forest been awarded a penalty in the opening 25 minutes after Calum Hudson-Odoi was bundled over in the box by Calafiori.<\/p>\n

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has since provided his thoughts on the incident. \u201cThat\u2019s the crux of it \u2013 was there enough? I think not,\u201d he said on Sky Sports\u2019 Ref Watch when asked if the contact was enough to award a penalty.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a bit of contact but is it enough to put him off? I\u2019m not sure. Calafiori goes to pull out of the challenge, the forward also isn\u2019t convinced it\u2019s a foul, he\u2019s trying to get the ball. He topples over but he\u2019s off balance anyhow. For me, the referee has got that right, and play on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arsenal also saw shouts for a penalty turned away in the second half after Jurrien Timber\u2019s cross appeared to strike the arm of Chris Wood as he went in for a sliding block. However, referee Andy Madley waved away those appeals with VAR and Gallagher clearly in agreement the right decision was made.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is where the forward wins with the law because if he scores from that, it\u2019s disallowed,\u201d he said. \u201cBut the law is quite clear here, if he\u2019s on the floor, it\u2019s a supporting arm and it can\u2019t be given as handball. He\u2019s doing everything possible to get out of the way. Nobody wants a penalty for that because it just doesn\u2019t sit right with people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though they had plenty of forays forward with that as one, Matz Sels was forced into just one save in the Forest goal which further showcased Arsenal\u2019s lack of conviction in attack that has been heavily impacted by injuries to Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n
