Gordon winner survives three checks: ball out, foul, offside

What happened

Anthony Gordon scored from a goalmouth scramble. VAR Andy Madley spent more than four minutes checking whether the ball had gone out, whether Joelinton had fouled Gabriel, and whether Gordon was offside. The goal stood. No official body called it an error, but Arsenal were furious.
