However, Paul Merson and Les Ferdinand both felt as though the goal should not have stood.

“I'd be disappointed if I didn't get a foul. He's in the wrong position, everything is wrong about his defending,” former Gunners striker Merson said on Sky Sports. 

“He's a center half international, even I know and I don't even play at the back you got to be side on. You got to see the ball and your player. 

“To start off you have to be a hand length away and he's standing with him. I'd expect a foul.”
