What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIn Liverpool on Sunday, Arsenal won at Anfield for the first time since September twenty twelve, one goal to nil, and are now top of the Premier League.

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSince twenty twelve. That's a long time to be refused entry.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorKai Havertz scored in the sixteenth minute, tapping in a low cross from Declan Rice.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorArsenal have twenty-four points, Manchester City twenty-one, and Liverpool are fifth, nine behind.

  5. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOne tap-in. The whole result rests on a single tap-in. I'd want that inspected.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLiverpool had twenty-eight touches in the Arsenal box in the first half, and four penalty appeals turned down.

  7. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorABC News reports VAR ticked off a clear jersey tug by Jurrien Timber on Alexander Isak and gave nothing.

  8. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo they saw it. They watched the replay and ruled against the replay.

  9. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA tribunal that reviews the evidence, confirms the offence, and declines to act. I've covered governments that were more subtle about it.

  10. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorGloria, I agree with you.

  11. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorDon't make a habit of it. Florian Wirtz hit the crossbar from a free kick in the thirty-ninth minute, and tempers flared late.

  12. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorArsenal host Hull City next weekend.

  13. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFourteen years to win at Anfield, and the whole thing took one tap-in. They should have saved it for Hull.
