You can look at it from that angle and it is impossible to tell.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We see it with corners where it looks over the circumference but the ball overhangs so they are allowed to play. I think that might be the problem with this, that they can&#8217;t be sure that some of that ball isn&#8217;t overhanging the line. There is no evidence to say the ball is out of play.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/05\/00\/77413817-0-image-a-96_1699144809918.jpg\" height=\"842\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Dermot Gallagher explained why Newcastle&#8217;s winner against Arsenal was allowed to stand<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/05\/00\/77413751-0-image-a-88_1699144671663.jpg\" height=\"435\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Gallagher stated that it wasn&#8217;t clear the ball had gone out ahead of Anthony Gordon&#8217;s goal<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/05\/00\/77413747-0-image-m-90_1699144683393.jpg\" height=\"364\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Richard Keys suggested the goal could have been chalked off for a foul or handball<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It isn&#8217;t whether the ball is in play but whether the ball is out of play.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The incident was also discussed by Richard Keys and Andy Gray on beIN SPORTS.<\/p>\n<p>The channel showed a graphic that appeared to demonstrate that the ball remained in play in the build up to the goal, although Keys admitted that it wasn&#8217;t completely conclusive.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on beIN SPORTS, Gray said that the ball was: &#8216;A slither in.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Keys ten said: &#8216;They would be right to argue we didn&#8217;t have a definitive angle which would conclusively prove whether the ball was in or whether the ball was out.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Aside from that aspect, Keys stated that there were two other reasons why the goal should have been disallowed &#8211; for a foul on Arsenal defender Gabriel and a possible handball.
