Gary Neville publicly apologised to VAR and Professional Referee Organisation officials after Arsenal had a goal chalked off for offside during their Premier League match against Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The Gunners were already trailing when Morgan Rogers struck a wondergoal just two minutes into the contest — a blow compounded further when Arsenal subsequently saw a goal ruled out by the VAR offside check.

Neville, commentating on the match, issued the on-air apology in the aftermath of the decision, with a statement also released regarding the disallowed goal.

Further details on the VAR statement and the specifics of the offside ruling are expected as the story develops.
