It turns out Arsenal has some history with referee Lee Mason that stretches far beyond the 2022-23 in which he’s made controversial calls that cost the Gunners points.
Arsene Wenger once confronted referee Lee Mason in the tunnel and shouted “It’s always the same with you” after some contentious calls in the game against Southampton in February 2016..
The game ended goalless and Mason's decision proved to be costly as Arsenal were in the title race against Spurs and Leicester City..
Mason is in the spotlight over a controversial goal he allowed to stand during Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Brentford on Saturday.
Christian Norgaard was in an offside position when he crossed for Ivan Toney and the goal would have been ruled out if the VAR lines had been drawn.
