VAR Disallows Calafiori's Goal in Arsenal vs Chelsea Match
On September 6, during a Premier League match between Arsenal and Chelsea, Riccardo Calafiori's goal was disallowed after a VAR review. The incident occurred shortly after Morgan Rogers scored for Chelsea.
Calafiori had seemingly equalized for Arsenal following a goalmouth scramble, but referee Chris Kavanagh was called to review the play. The Premier League clarified that Ezri Konsa's positioning was critical; he was deemed to have interfered with play while in an offside position, leading to the disallowance of Calafiori's goal.
Despite this disappointment, Arsenal quickly regained momentum, with Kai Havertz scoring in the 25th minute to level the match. Martin Odegaard then put Arsenal ahead in the 50th minute, solidifying their control after a tumultuous first half that included a disallowed goal and an early concession.
