Arsenal were controversially denied a penalty during their Premier League 2026/27 match against Hull City on November 7, 2026, despite arguments that a foul occurred before Kai Havertz was flagged offside. The incident, analyzed by GOAL.com's Moataz Elgammal, suggests that the referee's decision to disallow the penalty due to Havertz's offside position may have been incorrect under the laws of the game, as the foul preceded the offside offense. The match, held at Arsenal's home ground, ended without the spot-kick being awarded, sparking debate over VAR interpretation and the sequence of events leading to the decision.
