Sunday\u2019s North London Derby at the Emirates was a thrilling 2-2 draw, though there was some controversy over Arsenal\u2019s second goal.<\/p>\n
VAR adjudged Cristian Romero to have blocked Ben White\u2019s goal-bound shot with his arm, with referee Rob Jones awarding a penalty as a result, which Bukayo Saka subsequently scored.<\/p>\n
Many felt the decision to be very harsh given how close Romero was to White when it happened, but Jenas took his frustration too far in a post on Twitter.<\/p>\n
\u2018Complete sh**house off a referee! They\u2019re all ruining the our game!\u2019 the former Tottenham and England midfielder wrote.<\/p>\n
He later responded to a fan who suggested he was only upset because the decision went against his former side, saying: \u2018I wouldn\u2019t at all and it\u2019ll happen to arsenal at some point this year! If it takes that long after watching it over and over.. then it\u2019s not a pen.\u2019<\/p>\n
Many have criticised the 40-year-old\u2019s words, especially amid the growing push to eradicate abuse of match officials both on and off the pitch.<\/p>\n
