Richard Keys and Andy Gray, two sports analysts, questioned the referee after Arsenal defeated Bournemouth 3-2 on Saturday in the Premier League.



They believe that the referee purposefully extended the game so that the Gunners could score the game-winning goal late.

The referee should not have increased the allotted injury time, as Arsenal should not have been given the chance to snatch a dramatic victory.

After Bournemouth shocked the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium by taking a 2-0 lead, it looked as though they would lose at least two points.

However, Thomas Partey, Ben White, and Reiss Nelson's thrilling 97th-minute winner helped Arsenal come back.

John Keys, a sportscaster, questioned why there were only six additional seconds of injury time when Arsenal had the chance to score in the 97th minute.

“I would ask about the time of the goal as 97 minutes had been played. I think Bournemouth will have reason to think, "Where did you find that time?’ The referee will have a reason.
Andy Gray added: “There were six minutes added on; you can see that in the top corner, and we were just approaching the 98th minute when Reiss Nelson scored.”
