News Brief: What a great win for Westhampton but sad as supper star suffers heavy injury…..

For Jarrod Bowen at Arsenal, it was a case of being in the right place at the right time.

After a mishandled clearing by the home team at Emirates Stadium, the West Ham wizard persisted and was rewarded with an assist when Tomas Soucek scored the opening goal of the match. But only after a protracted VAR debate concluded that Bowen had, in fact, maintained the ball in play.

Alternatively said, the referees decided that since Bowen was obstructing their best angle of the ball hanging over the goal line, there was no compelling reason not to give the goal. As tensions tore through north London, Ally McCoist, a commentator for Amazon Prime Video, was as entertained as everyone else.

The fact that Bowen’s own planted right leg was the source of uncertainty during the Premier League match made the Scottish icon laugh. It also so happened to be the only viewpoint that could provide a definitive response to the question.

Co-commentator Jon Champion was similarly unconfident in his ability to provide a resolution regarding the goal’s allocation. But as soon as it was determined that the goal would stand, the away fans at the Emirates were inconsolable.

Antonio won’t be ready to play against the Gunners on Thursday, according to Moyes, who also acknowledged that he will have to wait and see if Aguerd can make a comeback to the starting lineup.
