Leeds United defender Liam Cooper says Arsenal players thought Gabriel’s red card should have been upheld despite the absence of Patrick Bamford.
The Arsenal defender was sent off after he appeared to kick Patrick Bamford, but the referee decided to overturn the penalty and red card after watching the VAR replay.
“He (the referee) said that Gabriel had been pushed before,” Cooper said. “But I still don’t think he affects the kicks, he knows what he’s doing.
“Speaking also with his players, I will not give names, but they thought exactly the same. That is what it is and it is difficult for us.” – Cooper said after the game.
Arsenal ended up getting a great away win with Bukayo Saka scoring the only goal of the game.
