Arteta Furious Over VAR Call In Champions League

Arsenal and Atletico Madrid shared a tense 1-1 draw in a Champions League semi-final first leg dominated by penalty drama.

Viktor Gyokeres fired Arsenal ahead from the spot before Julian Alvarez equalised with a controversial handball penalty.

The biggest flashpoint came late on when Arsenal were awarded another penalty, only for VAR to overturn it after a long review.
