Premier League releases statement on penalty decision as Arsenal beat Everton 2-0 

The Premier League have sent out a statement, explaining why Arsenal were not awarded a penalty in the first half of their 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday.

Kai Havertz appeared to be clipped by Michael Keane after he was played in by Eberechi Eze.

But referee Andy Madley waved play on and VAR supported the on-field decision.

In a statement explaining the decision, the Premier League Match Centre said: “The referee’s call of no penalty to Arsenal was checked and confirmed by VAR – with the contact from Keane on Havertz deemed to be minimal.”

The Gunners eventually found late goals from Viktor Gyokeres and Max Dowman to edge a tight encounter.

The win took them 10 points clear of Manchester City, who play at West Ham.
