Martin Odegaard was unhappy with the goal disallowed.
The Gunners lost 3-1 to Man United and lost their winning streak in the Premier League for the first time.
They took the lead with a Gabriel Martinelli goal which was disallowed by VAR as Odegaard deemed to have fouled Eriksen in the build up.
Captain Martin Odegaard criticised the decision to rule Martinelli’s goal.
Odegaard said: ‘In my opinion it is never a foul. A soft challenge and for VAR to come in it has to be clear and obvious. Very, very soft. You can make it look worse on camera. Never a foul, the referee said play on.’
Pundit Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink also agreed with Odegaard that the goal should have been given.
Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: ‘I think it’s ridiculous to go back to that. I don’t think it’s a foul. Eriksen is just weak there. They say they’ve changed, that they’re going to be more lenient.
‘Yes, he [Odegaard] doesn’t make contact with the ball, but you’re allowed to have contact with players. He’s being weak. For me it’s not a foul.
‘You don’t have to touch the ball. He’s not kicking the player. He’s just coming in contact, and that’s allowed. Why is that a free-kick?’
