FOOTBALL fans fumed that Eberechi Eze’s North London derby goal was allowed to stand.
The Arsenal superstar, 27, added his side’s second just five minutes after Leandro Trossard gave the hosts the lead over arch-rivals Tottenham.
Eze, who turned down Spurs to join his beloved Gunners in the summer, jinxed past defenders on the edge of the box.
And his rasping strike was too hot for Guglielmo Vicario to handle.
The Italian got a wrist to the ball but could only divert it into the back of the net.
But plenty watching the action on TV – plus Les Ferdinand in the Sky Sports studio at the Emirates – could not believe the goal stood.
That is because there were two Arsenal players standing in offside positions when Eze shot.
Both Martin Zubimendi and Trossard were beyond the last Tottenham defender.
And many argued they were in Vicario’s eyeline and therefore interfering with the goalkeeper – even though they made no attempt to play the ball or get involved.
